Best Covers

[gnomeflinger]

I don't know if this has been done, and apologize if this is a repeat thread.

Who did one of the best cover songs ever?

I just listened to Otep do "Bleed" by Nirvana and I like it a lot.

[Thnikkaman]

Two of my favorites are when Redman, Kieth Murray, and Eric Serman covered Rappers Delight, (Also when the old lady did it in the Wedding Singer) and the Roots cover of Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick's "The Show"

[gnomeflinger]

One of my hobbies is collecting covers. Send them all! I beg you! :adore:

[Dreadnought]

You are an odd lady, Gnomey. A delight, just very odd.

[broncobryce]

Nirvana's cover of "Man who sold the World" is excellent. And "Lake of Fire"

[Dreadnought]

"Morning Dew" covered by both Jeff Beck and Nazareth

"Dead Souls" by NIN, though the Joy Division original is still better.

[Slick]

Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade cover Pink Floyd's Animals from start to finish. It's great.

[MasterShake]

The Smashing Pumpkins did a bunch of great covers, including:

Destination Unknown (Missing Persons)
You're All I've Got Tonight (The Cars)
Dancing in the Moonlight (Thin Lizzy)
The Joker (Steve Miller Band)
Landslide (Fleetwood Mac)
Dreaming (Blondie)
We're All Clones (Alice Cooper)

And Marilyn Manson did some good 80's covers:

Spin Me
Sweet Dreams
Personal Jesus

[NameUsedBefore]

Richard Cheese's entire discography.

Richard Cheese's entire discography.

Is that the lounge singer guy you set me a few samples of? If so, yeah, he's good.

johhny cash - hurt
nirvana - seasons in the sun

[Dreadnought]

johhny cash - hurt
nirvana - seasons in the sun

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt was brilliant - I agree

[Den21vsBal19]

Never really been a massive fan of covers, to be honest, although I'll always be grateful to the Far Corporation for covering Stairway To Heaven...............that was my introduction to Led Zep..............:rockon:

One individual cover that springs to mind, and is probably my favourite, is the Manic Street Preachers' version of Suicide is Painless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-g0aBYVCgE), better known as the theme from M*A*S*H. :thrasher:

I've also got a couple of half decent covers albums, Def Leppard's 'Yeah' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yeah-Def-Leppard/dp/B000FORA5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1235178068&sr=8-1), which is mostly 70s Classics such as 20th Century Boy, Waterloo Sunset & Don't Believe A Word, and Tom Jones' 'Reloaded' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reload-Tom-Jones/dp/B000025ALZ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1235178271&sr=1-4), which is the old Welsh rocker collaberating with various artists on different songs such as Lust for life with The Pretenders, Are you gonna go my way with Robbie Williams & Sexbomb with Mousse T.

[gnomeflinger]

You are an odd lady, Gnomey. A delight, just very odd.

:salute: If a band gives a great cover performance, I'll look for other songs by that artist.

[dogfish]

the butthole surfers - hurdy gurdy man

eric clapton - i shot the sheriff

jane's addiction - sympathy for the devil

red hot chili peppers - fire, higher ground

stevie wonder - we can work it out

sky cries mary - 2,000 light years from home

sublime - rivers of babylon

burning spear - estimated prophet

I didn't see "Pretty Woman" by Van Halen.

And "Solitaire" by Clay Aiken . . . well, by Elvis, too.

[atwater27]

Billy Idol does Simple Minds' 'Don't you forget about me'. Saw it live, it was awesome.

I dig me some Electric Hellfire Club.

[Northman]

Just checking out the new Cemetery of Scream album they do a nice cover of the Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin".

[drewloc]

I like the Gravity Kills version of Personal Jesus a bit better than Manson's. Also STP did a cover of the Doors "Break on Through". That was fantastic. Gnomey, there is also a couple Tribute albums I will check the names of, one has all The Doors covers, the other is all Zeppelin covers.

[drewloc]

Found them, one is "Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin" and the other is "Stoned Immaculate: The Music of The Doors".

Huh. The group name scares me. :lol: Are they one of the death metal groups?

[Northman]

Huh. The group name scares me. :lol: Are they one of the death metal groups?

Actually, they are Gothic Metal. Mixing some clean vocals with a little rough vocals and some female vocals as well. You would probably get into them a little bit. Here is a song from one of their past albums.

Noobie, I concur with the Lacuna Coil cover. That one is awesome!

[atwater27]

Fricking love that cover. Been a while since i heard it. Thanks! :beer:

Blew my mind 1st time I heard it.

[gnomeflinger]

I am now a convert. Cemetery of Scream is awesome! I love this cover.

[gnomeflinger]

Nights in White Satin is just one of those songs that should never be touched, but they did a good job.

[Hobe]

SRV - Superstition (Stevie wonder)
Jimmi Hendricks - Watch Tower (Dylan)

[NameUsedBefore]

Richard Cheese's cover of Chop Suey, + some impersonations of Sting and Bjork

MvFYJjMoUqs

[Zweems56]

Nirvana- The man who sold the world
Staind- Nutshell
Gary Jules- Mad world

I'm having a brain fart on the rest.

Cash's Hurt was great, but I still don't think its anywhere near as good as the original

Oh, Pearl Jam- Love, reign o'er me.

[Slick]

Good call on the Ministry cover Atwater. I had forgotten about that one too.

[gnomeflinger]

Fuel - I Walk the Line
Social Distortion - Ring of Fire

[Den21vsBal19]

SRV - Superstition (Stevie wonder)
Jimmi Hendricks - Watch Tower (Dylan)
I lkied the BT4 version of All Along The Watchtower (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei-RTgTboCs&feature=related) that was used as the centrepoint for the finale of the 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica.....................not only was there a cover of the song, but the lines were used through out the final couple of episodes, and it bugged the hell out of me that I couldn't place the song they came from :lol:

[Devilspawn]

Noobie, I concur with the Lacuna Coil cover. That one is awesome!
One of my favorite bands in a long, long time.

My favorite ever is one most of you probably never heard of. Sophie Ellis Bextor's "Take Me Home" originally performed by Cher.

Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" originally performed by Aretha Franklin, as well as Gaye's Star Spangled Banner in Los Angeles back in 1982, probably the best version of them all.

Johnny Cash's Ring Of Fire by Social Distortion.

Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney, since that song has been played over and over and over...

[aberdien]

A Perfect Circle - Imagine
The Sundays - Wild Horses
Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love and Sweet Dreams
Ozzy Osbourne - In My Life
Johnny Cash - Hurt
The White Stripes - Jolene and a bunch of Bob Dylan

[Northman]

The Sundays - Wild Horses


Very good cover. :beer:

It takes a lot of talent really to cover a performance another group or artist owns, and Van Halen has it. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/AZDynamics/Smilies/thdrink.gif

[G_Money]

A Perfect Circle covered Imagine by John Lennon, and sing it like the dirge in minor key instead of as an uplifting dream. REALLY good.

Just a really neat cover.

Ktv2C9vnRKU

And of course, the one that currently still makes me laugh my ass off is Framing Hanley's cover of Lil Wayne's Lollipop:

iSEZsfVwbHY


I enjoy covers. Mostly because I like seeing what artists themselves are interested in. All Along The Watchtower by the Dave Matthews Band is ridiculously incredible live.

ypaH1Gj6VIs

It's been covered a million times, but DMB's version just gets everything right about the original, and adds some extra color besides.

Good stuff.

Most of my favorites have been mentioned--

The Man Who Sold the World, Sweet Dreams, Hurt, Rivers of Babylon, ...

All-American Rejects did a youtube cover of Britney Spears Womanizer.

[frauschieze]

I've always been a fan of Local H, mostly because of their guitarist (who plays a custom built guitar so he can play bass and guitar at the same time), and the cover they did of Britney Spears' Toxic cracked me up when I heard it:

i'll always love this song after hearing him play it at reggae on the rocks in '03. . . easily the best concert i've ever been to! israel vibration was playing when we got there, and then the original wailers-- and they freakin' killed it. . . . we were having a great time, but it was kinda windy and had been drizzling for most of the day. . . as the wailers were finishing up just before dusk, the clouds finally blew over and the setting sun came out-- if you've been to red rocks, you can imagine how incredible that was. . . and then, jimmy cliff comes on stage, and opens with what else? naturally. . . i can see clearly now the rain has gone. . . . :elefant:

it was too freakin' perfect. . . .

Across the Universe had some fantastic Beatles covers, IMO.

And Killswitch Engage's cover of "Holy Diver" was pretty awesome.

nice one, G. . . . i alone is such a great freakin' song. . . .

[Broncospsycho77]

Here's one of the most famous Hawaiian covers of songs... you've probably heard the adaptation by Ted's band in an episode of Scrubs...

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
D68ymfjpw98

He also did a really great cover of "What a Wonderful World".

[G_Money]

Israel was incredibly talented. And I was gonna put that cover on here - thanks for beatin me to it. :salute:

~G

[G_Money]

I was gonna put the dude from Seether on here doing "Change by the Deftones...aw hell, here:

KNChcvfHwHg

But it's really not a stretch for him. They call this Breaking Benjamin doing it, but it's not. It's the lead singer of Seether with them backing him up. and since the very first time I HEARD Seether I thought the Deftones must've cut a new album that I hadn't heard about, I can't really say it's a surprising cover.

Still good, though. ;)

I didn't know the first girl, top, but Shirley Bassey's pipes have never been in question. Like, ever.

I've noted elsewhere that "Imagine" is my most hated song ever. Its a tribute to A Perfect Circle that they can make even that POS sound good :D

Maynard James Keenan can sing anything IMO

I don't have a problem with Lennon, during or after the Beatles, but everybody keeps telling me what an inspirational song "Imagine" is, and all I can hear while he's singing it is that he's pleading for the human race to become lobotomized so they can stop caring about anything, and that way they'll stop fighting over stuff.

It seems vaguely creepy to me, and Maynard's version gets across that creep factor for me, makes it a bit unsettling. I like it.

~G

Dropping a Joy Division reference and a Maynard reference just got you some serious cool points with me Dread.

[haroldthebarrel]

some to listen to.
Kruder and dormeister cover(sampling) of depeche modes useless.

probably mentioned but Johnny cash' Hurt is better than the original. and the original is good.

primus covering hello skinny/sinister exaggerator by the residents is great, if you like weird music.

Calexicos cover of alone again or is great. Though the original is better.

Should come up with more later, but I kinda wanna stick to the one that isnt as famous or are better than the original imho.

[haroldthebarrel]

speaking of Joy division. I think I have one cover of "love will tear us apart" that didnt trash it. And the winner was Swans.... I think that goth version is pretty listenable.

[shank]

iSEZsfVwbHY

not very good, but still a cool cover

[G_Money]

harold, even Joy division butchered that song, and it was their song. The Cure attempted to cover it, IIRC, and theirs might have been better, but it's still hard. Just a hard, hard song to do. ;) I'll have to look for the Swans version, I guess.

Here's Anna Nalick doing an acoustic version of RHCP's "Breaking the Girl" that I thought was pretty well done:

Oh, and if you love jazz in any way, you should know the name Herbie Hancock, and his Possibilities album has some GREAT covers on it. There's one I don't like, but When Love Comes to Town with Johnny Lang and Joss Stone is outstanding, as is the heartbreaking Don't Explain, a cover of a Billie Holliday song by a coupla Irish kids and Herbie.

Tremendous album. I highly recommend it.

Must of been slacker night on the Leno show.

[NameUsedBefore]

I always saw Imagine as a deeply negative song. Lennon's calm voice just masks the meaning of it, IMO, which is really that the Earth would be better off without us, or that mankind would be a lot better off without most of its institutions; I find both of them true, so I think it's a good song. APC does capture the actual mood of the song, though, which is why I think it's one of the better covers of any song ever. I'd put Johnny Cash's "Hurt" up there too. I think a good cover is one that takes the song and makes it their own, and I think both groups did it with those two.

[Dreadnought]

Dropping a Joy Division reference and a Maynard reference just got you some serious cool points with me Dread.
