best and worst covers

Type O Negative's cover of "Summer Breeze" rules. Also, Snake River Conspiracy's cover of The Smiths' "How Soon is Now?" Other goodies: Kittie doing Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell"; Tool "No Quarter"; Days of the New "The End"; Sister Machine Gun "Strange Days"; NIN "Dead Souls"; Van Halen "You Really Got Me"; and on and on.

 

And I like Heart's Battle of Evermore.

 

i heard a country version of "piece of my heart" and almost stabbed my eardrums out...janis was rolling in her grave...

 

AHH, I feel your anger.

Now Celine Dion doing AC/DC's "All Night Long" ??? Haha, that's pretty funny.

But the Hilary Duff/Limp Bizket messing with the Who, now that's not funny.

Fred Durst... Roger Daltrey... no, no, it's just wrong!

 

Marilyn Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" is awesome.
System of a Down's cover of "Metro" is also very good.

 

I love The Who's cover of "Summertime Blues"--the one they did at Woodstock.

 

The Who did some good covers.

 

"No Quarter" is a great song. I didn't know Tool covered it.

 

oooooooo faith hill did that version! and she sung it alot better than janis too, plus she is better lookin! thats for sure.

 

Best rock to hip hop cover ever - Wyclef; Wish you were here.
Huge floyd fan and I love this cover.

 

George Thorogoods cover of One Bourbon, One Scotch, And One Beer knocks the socks off John Lee Hookers original

 

The Bad Plus - Smells Like Teen Spirit

The Animals - House of The Rising Sun

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

Elvis Costello - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love and Understanding

To name a few.

 

Stabbing Westward's cover of Bizarre Love Triangle is really good. I also dig Orgy's cover of Blue Monday.

 

Though of another one - I think the guy's name is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. He does a great cover of Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World that is so beautiful. Has anyone heard this? I love it

Mike, you gotta type a lil faster, man.

 

OAR didnt do that version. it was THE GOURDS. Not OAR, not phish, not DMB, not any jam band other than the gourds. period.

 

two more good covers I forgot to mention
Incubus: Turning Japanese
Mr. Bungle: Mario Theme

 

Worst cover... I know, When Celine Dion remade I drove all night (Originally by Cyndi Lauper.) I was so upset, I called to complain to the radio station. Cyndi did it much better.
