Favorite cover songs
 

Right now I'm listening to Hallowed Be Thy Name by Cradle of Filth. I love this cover.

A lot of people knock covers, I actually really enjoy them. I think it's a lot of fun watching a band/group take an older song that they grew up on and giving it their own spin.

This is one of my current favorite cover tunes of Robert Tepper's "No Easy Way Out" from the Rocky 4 soundtrack.


Also Northern Kings to a cover of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero"


I'm like you, I always love another band's take on a classic song.

Lords of the New Church- Like a Virgin

Covers are so tricky because it can be so easy to do the exact same song and sound like Karaoke.

I think if you really look at the whole history of covers Hendrix nailed it with this
It sounds nothing like Dylan's version but the lyrics are still an important element of the song.



Or you can go the other way like The Dickies and just have fun

Better than the original


Not so much a cover but an Old Ass Song

I was looking for this.......KICK-ASS, Hit-Girls Song....tnx

One of the greatest songs ever "Nothing else matters" from Metallica can be even epic also.

The cover song by Apocalyptica or Gregorian is awesome!
Turn up your speakers!!

Check out the Graveyard Classics albums by Six Feet Under, Sly.

You'll dig it.

Children of Bodom doing "Oops I Did It Again"

most of the songs from the Maiden Heaven album of Iron Maiden covers

I like a lot of CoB's covers, check out their Skeletons In The Closet album if you haven't yet. It's all covers :thumbsup

Wow...I could really go on forever here. I love when people play other people's music.

Start here.

Joy Division - Shadowplay

covered by The Killers

Some of you guys who have friended me on Facebook have probably already seen me post this, but this, IMHO, is the best cover song of all time-

Bigod 20 covering Madonna's Like a Prayer:





When I'm making a mix I usually also like to include Wesley Willis and the Fiasco doing Duran Duran's Girls on Film-



I promise you these covers deliver. :thumbsup

Brilliant

Milow - Ayo Technology

Sweet Dreams by Manson, great song!
(used two times in the movie "The Gamer" intro + chase)
