Cover songs

[Lord Nibbler]

I also like A Perfect Circle's Imagine.

And speaking of live Pearl Jam covers, I liked their cover of The Times They Are A-Changin'.

Green Day - My Generation, Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, Eye of the Tiger, Star Wars Imperial March.

[FunkAsPuck]

Will you guys get over yourselves? Wonderwall itself is shit, it has to be one of the msot over rated songs I've ever heard. Oasis are fucking garbage.

[Cactus Drags]

Erm, thanks, I guess.

Imagine is also incredibly over rated. Not heard APC's cover, but it can hardly be worse...

[Turbo Yannis]

Liked:

Travis - Hit Me Baby One More Time

Original was pants but this is brilliant.

Didn't

Limp Bizkit - Faith

I really didn't like the original and I thought this cover was pretty terrible.

[Hellfire]

I really enjoyed Shinedown's version of Simple Man and for the ones I hated...I heard one of Britney Spears remakes....If the others were as bad I hope that someone puts a muzzle on that bitch.

[Steeb]

Oh, fuck. Adema covered Nutshell? Hopefully Jerry Cantrell didn't endorse it. That's more depressing than hearing about AFI covering NIN.

Like:

Devo - Satisfaction

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again

Placebo - Running Up That Hill

Faith No More - Easy

Mindless Self Indulgence - Bring The Pain

The Pixies - Winterlong

The Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

Hated:

AFI - Head Like A Hole

Linkin Park - Wish

Staind - Sober

Limp Bizkit - Eulogy

Breaking Benjamin - Aenima

Nirvana - Man Who Sold The World

I like Oasis' version of My Generation, and Eagles Of Death Metal's version of Stuck In The Middle With You.

Avril Lavigne's Chop Suey is quite possibly one of the most horrible recordings I've ever heard.

[GA!]

Favourite: "Feeling Good" by Muse, originally done by Nina Simone. That is one of the greatest covers I've ever heard.

Worst: Any band who thinks they can do "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones some justice.

[Guest Thiia Deshi]

Favourite - Children of Bodom - Oops I did it again or The Final Countdown

Worst - Rancid - No Woman No Cry

[MalaCloudy Black]

Oh, and all Apocalyptica covers. Especially Master of Puppets, For Whom The Bell Tolls, & From Out of Nowhere.

[Fitzy]

I really enjoyed Shinedown's version of Simple Man

1. What was the best 1-2 punch of original and remake you've heard?

- Joy Divison's original Dead Souls, and Nine Inch Nails' remake.

- Pink Floyd's original Have A Cigar, and Primus' remake.

- Queen's orignal Bohemian Rhapsody, and Constantine Maroulis' remake.

2. What was the worst matching of remake song and artist?

- Britney Spears' Oops, I Did It Again!, and Children of Bodom's remake.

3. What "same-song mash" do you think would be pretty cool to hear?

- Britney Spears Vs. Children Of Bodom - Oops, I Did It Again. Because it would be funny.

- Elvis Presley Vs. The Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas

- Rush Vs. Mindless Self Indulgence - Tom Sawyer

Another one I like is Music by some band that name escapes me the song is originally done by Madonna though.

Urgh, I am glad Out Of Your Mouth amounted to nothing, since I remember everyone was claiming they were the next best thing... well not EVERYONE, but there was buzz around them. And Switchfoot for that matter.

People are going to jump all over for me for this, but a friend played me it today, and I've totally fallen in love with the Mike Flowers Pops' version of Wonderwall.

[Lowerdeck]

1. Bob Seger, then Metallica - "Turn The Page"

2. Neil Diamond, then some techno DJ - "Sweet Caroline"

I don't know if anyone here has heard the techno version. But yeah, someone really shouldn't have touched this song. This one is so horrible, I'll kill someone if I hear that techno remake again.

Then again, techno butchers so many classic songs. 70s and 80s.

I have always expected them to give hima gimmick of an ex Basketball player, something on the lines of that for some reason.

Great Big Sea's "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" makes the REM original seem sluggish. Sluggish is bad.
