Best Cover Song
What band do you think has done a really great cover of a song, what band did they cover, what band are they and what song did they cover?
I've got a few that were really decent, imho. Disturbed - Land of Confusion (Band: Genesis) - Not a real fan of Disturbed, but their cover of this song was magnificent. Mae - March of the Pigs (Band: Nine Inch Nails) - Mae doesn't do hard songs, so this was something different, and lived up to the NIN version. Anberlin - Enjoy The Silence (Band: Depeche Mode) - One of my favourite songs of all time done really, really well. Anberlin - Love Song (Band: The Cure) - the 311 Version sucked ass, this version is 100% better. Weezer - Veloria (Band: The Pixies) - Amazing cover of a great song. Alkaline Trio - Bye Bye Love (Band: The Cars) - Just kinda makes me LOL. Alkaline Trio - Children in Hear (Band: The Misfits) - Best Misfits Cover Ever. Ben Folds - Bitches Ain't Shit (Artist: Dr. Dre/Snoop) - If you haven't heard this, your life has no meaning. ![]() #bestintheworld #allhailtheking MY WORKRATE > YOUR WORKRATE ![]() SIX STARS | STRONG STYLE | SIX STARS Quote:

Are we talking about songs covered in the studio, at concerts, or both?

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. |

My favorite cover song has to be A Perfect Circle's version of Imagine by John Lennon. They just gave it an amazing dark twist.

Buckley's Hallelujah is probably the greatest cover of all-time without a doubt. That song was him in so many ways.
Bruce Springsteen - Jersey Girl (Tom Waits) Van Morrison - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) Jimi Hendrix - Like a Rolling Stone (Dylan) and countless other Hendrix covers |

I quite like all the covers Metallica did on the Damage Inc. album, accept the Motorhead ones... not really a fan of Motorhead.
