Best Cover song(s)

[monosylab1k]

es Ain't by Ben Folds

Ben Folds and Dynamite Hack did the "gangsta rap soft ballad cover" right. Now every indie rock and their mother is doing one and they all suck.

[leemajors]

dynamite hack sucked and was a frat boy favorite.

[L.I.T]

Eh, they were ok. But mono's got it right with the rap covers.

Ben Folds had some great covers:

Careless Whisper (w/Rufus Wainwright)
She Don't Use Jelly
Tiny Dancer

Stone Temple Pilots - Dancing Days

and I saw them do a cover on SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

[leemajors]

type o negative - cinnamon girl

[thispego]

Behind Blue Eyes - Limp BIzkit (i actually thought it was a pretty decent cover, except of course for the gay ass L-I-M-P robot voice thing. but hey, it's limp bizkit so some re ed like that is to be expected. overall they did a good job though)

alright. i opened this thread just to see if anyone put this stupid song on here.
WORST COVER EVER! limp bizkit should die for this remake.
you're not as cool as i thought monosylab

LMAO yeah man Limp sucks a fat nut!! WORST Band in the last 10 years

[Summers]

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

The first thing that came to mind was their version of Over the Rainbow and Cabaret. I love them!

[Summers]

Both are great versions of that song...Dylan was a great songwriter.

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.

haha sorry to disappoint you. for me, that song was like watching transformers - you had lowered expectations because of who was recreating it. i was pleasantly surprised by this cover considering it's source.

[Duff McCartney]

Harry Nilsson - Without You (Badfinger cover)

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki

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

[Viva Las Espuelas]

if 6 was 9 - bootsy

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.

Why not?

speaking 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 ? blaspheme, i say.

[thispego]

damn that sounds lame. but so is 95% of the that's out these days

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Jackie Wilson Said
Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins - Handle With Care
