Favorite Cover Song

Foo Fighters version of Darling Niki

Orgy - Blue Monday
Limp Bizkit - Faith
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

KMC>Have to agree with the White Stripes there, but then again they are bloody amazing!

there are ok, although i prefer the previous album to elephant.

amlap>i never heard the cover but that is a brave comment. that song rocks my world... the original tha is.

its on one of their early albums ("in a priest driven ambulance"😉 when they were more loud punk rocker types. they originally intended to sing it sarcastically but the joy of the song shines through and makes it the best version of the song ive heard. as you like the song i recommend you hear it - good stuff 🙂

finti>oh yeah, you are bloody right there. Buckley also has a good cover of Nina Simon`s Lilac Wine.

i didnt realise that was by her - katie melua also has that on her album (i got it for my mum for christmas).
have you heard the original Leonard Cohen 'Hallelujah'? i think it sounds kinda lame...

wicker_man>Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

i love that song but i have never heard the original so cant judge it6 as a cover.

I almost forgot, HIM's cover of Neil Diamond's Solitary Man is a massive improvement on the original. Best cover version in years.

the best cover song EVER is Cake's I Will Survive. It just blows away the original...

😱 Zebrahead's version of the Spice Girl's Wannabe

Manson's "Tainted Love"
Dope's "Spinny Round"
Rob Zombie's "Boogie Man"

the living end's version of tainted love is much better than manson's version

IYO 😉

HIM's cover of Wicked Game as well. Not as timeless as the original, but very good none the less.

Feeders cover of the polices song 'Cant stand'

White Strips cover of 'just dont know what to do with myself'
(Brilliant video as well)

Pennywise's version of Hey ya that i heard live at Download lol 🙂

Right now, It's Elliott Smith's cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" It is just so...perfect. The lyrics are so great, and Elliott Smith's voice with the acoustic guitar cannot be beat.

Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah

Also wish to add:

Cradle of Filth's version of Fear of the Dark
and
Dave Grohl, Eric Clapton, The Clash and Bruce Springsteen's cover of Londons Calling.

i agree..cradles version is great

i also like the cover version of dont fear the reaper by wolf...originaly sung by blue oyster cult

I like the version of "Can't keep my eyes off you" that Muse did. I also love "No Quarter" done by Tool and "Bring the Pain" done by Mindless Self Indulgence.

HIM - Wicked Game, Metallica - Enter Sandman, and Mansons Tainted Love

The new GC Cd cover.It is so cool!It looks like a very old thrown apart book!JM Oh and the cover for Pink Floyd the wall!
