Best Cover song(s)

[Viva Las Espuelas]

the other thread about "mad world" made me make this thread. plus, i'm bored at work

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

War Pigs by Faith No More - in my opinion, way way better than the original.
Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughan - again, way way way better than the original
these are some that come to mind


A tune I wish a band would cover is God of Thunder(KISS) done by Type O Negative. Now that would be greatness

[Summers]

90% of the songs by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

[Summers]

Me and Bobby Mcgee by Janis Joplin
Across the Universe by Fiona Apple and alternatively Rufus Wainwright

I didn't realize this was a remake. I love that song.

[Duff McCartney]

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Foo Fighters - Darling Nikkii would not want to hear that......ever

[Viva Las Espuelas]

you should check out the version they do on the Jeff Porcaro tribute album. Session greats are on it. Will Lee, Simon Phillips, and I think Michael Landau. Jimi was a big inspiration for Jeff.

[ATRAIN]

i would not want to hear that......ever


Why not?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

alright. i opened this thread just to see if anyone put this stupid song on here.

you're not as cool as i thought monosylabspeaking of worst cover ever, a friend of mine was playing the new maroon 5. a band that does not appeal to me....at all. maroon 5 is a jamiroqui rip off who in turn "whited" up Stevie Wonder. Anyway, they covered Pure Imagination. from Willy Wonka. what the hell? blaspheme, i say.

Son of Tim Buckley I think. Cut one of the great albums of the last twenty years, then drowned, a fantastic voice.
