Type O Negative's cover of Summer Breeze

[Kane Knight]

Some of these weren't written by the person who did them, so I'm clarifying

Johnny Hyde - Tainted Love (Originally performed by Gloria Jones)
--Better than the Manson version, IMO.

Stone Coyotes - Paranoid (Originally performed by Black Sabbath)

Type O Negative - Cinnamon Girl (Originally performed by
Niell Young)

Brian May - Hot Patootie/Whatever Happened to Saturday Night? (Originally performed by the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show)

The Beatles - Slow Down and Bad Boy (Both originally performed by Larry Williams)

Hendrix - Watchtower (Dylan)

Probably misssing some.

Downloading the Me cover out of curiosity.

Peter Mulvey - Oliver's Army (Originally performed by Elvis costello) and The Ocean (Originally performed by Dar Williams)

Letters to Cleo (Who rock anyway) - Cruel to be Kind (Originally performed by Nick Lowe) and I Want You to Want Me (Originally performed by Cheap Trick).

Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust (Gotham) (Originally performed by David Bowie) and Telegram Sam (Originally performed by MArc Bolan)

Buffalo Tom does a great cover of Going Underground by the Jam.

I likethe Jam, but I love their version (Which doesn't sound much like the original)

Jeffrey Foucault does a nice cover of "Lodi." I don't remember if that's a CCR tune or a John Fogerty tune, though.

Melissa Etheridge's cover of Tom Petty's "Refugee" is pretty awesome, if I didn't mention it already.

as a giant weezer fan (well back in the day anyway) I'm very sorry to inform you that that wonderful Mrs. robinson cover is not in fact weezer, but mislabeled as weezer.

Rocket Man-William Shatner (originally by Elton John)

:shifty:

[Kane Knight]

Dar Williams--Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) and Echoes (Whoever did the original)

[What Would Kevin Do?]

William Shatner's cover of "Common People" is amazing.
Live and Let Die covered by Guns N' Roses
I like Deadsy's cover of Tom Sawyer, although it's not that different
The Guns N' Roses cover of Sympathy for the Devil is top notch

Right now, I'm listening to a cover of "Stay" (The Lisa Loeb song) by New Found Glory... Not horrible...

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Oh, and everything Richard Cheese does.

[The Lone Wolf]

I love just about every pink floyd cover and i'm not sure if it counts as a cover or not but 10,000 days' packageing is amazing.

[Indifferent Clox]

Do you know what a cover is?

A cover is an artist doing another artists song.

I hope you are being sarcastic. If so PROPS.
