Covers

I love the Deceraberists, and as I was browsing Youtube, I came across this. I do like Marianne Faithful, and love Nick Cave, but I'm not so sure about this

I was just thinking about this thread today when I recalled how much I love the Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street... great song, covered by one of my favorite banRAB...

Also really love Fear Factory's cover of "Cars" by Gary Numan
 
Sonic Youth - I'm Not There (Bob Dylan cover)
Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again (Smiths cover)
Mogwai - Gouge Away (Pixies cover)
Deftones - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (Smiths cover)
Brand New - Oh Comely (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
Muse - House Of The Rising Sun (The Animals cover)
Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like Heaven (The Cure cover)
Nirvana - Man Who Changed The World (David Bowie cover)
Eels - Get Ur Freak On (Missy Elliott cover)
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover)
Les Savy Fav - Debaser (Pixies cover)
Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love (Soft Cell cover.. yes, I am serious)
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall (Oasis cover)
Silversun Pickups - Shadowplay (Joy Division cover)

There are probably others, but they're the only songs coming to mind right now.
 
XTC-All Along the Watch Tower has really good bass.
Cap'n Jazz-Take on Me is the best Cap'n Jazz song there is.
Frank Turner-The District Sleeps Tonight vocals are way better than the original. and Frank's Prayer to God is good but Shellac's is much more intense.
Meat Puppets' Lake of Fire is better than Nirvana's.


and I like hearing different versions of folk songs like Shenandoah, Little Boxes and What did you learn in school today.



Sunny Day Real Estate-Seven and any Yaphet Kotto song are the most fun to play.
 
Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's "Blinded By the Light" is pretty good.

Grand Funk's version of "The Locomotion" is easily the best one.

I've always thought the Beatle's cover of "Rock and Roll Music" is a lot meatier than Chuck Berry's.

Just my opinion.
