There are many, but lately it's Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Child of Mine". YUUUUCH Dude what the F are you smoking over there. That twat killed that song so bad. You dont Cover that song and change it to Easy Listening! YUUUUCHHHH AWFULL! Oh yea best cover In my oppinion, Limp Does an awsome cover of Jump around by House Of Pain. Also Van Hallen does a nice version of Dancin in the streets, Guns N Roses doing Live and Let Dye

YUUUUCH Dude what the F are you smoking over there. That twat killed that song so bad. You dont Cover that song and change it to Easy Listening!

We disagree. I like that song and put it in this thread based on the fact that I was watching "Big Daddy" at the time and they use that song really well in the soundtrack. The Guns version would not have been appropriate for the scene. And I have been a big Guns fan from Day 1.

Other recent fave covers?

Tall James, if I wasn't such a flaming heterosexual I would kiss you! I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of that band!

It was basically REM with Warren Zevon on lead vocals if memory serves correctly, and it's a great version.

I'm also partial to any remake the Ramones ever did, particularly "Surfin' Bird" and "Do You Wanna Dance?"

No, I think Proud Mary is the name of the song, most people just call it "Rollin on a River".

I'm gonna add Willie Nelson doing "Bridge Over Troubled Water". I've always liked that one. And The Lemonheads "Mrs. Robinson"

"Proud Mary" was written by CCR vocalist/guitarist John Fogarty.

BUT -- I completely forgot about the famous cover version of "Proud Mary" by Ike and Tina Turner.

Replacements, "Another Girl, Another Planet"...(Only Ones)
Alien Ant Farm, "Smooth Criminal"...(Michael Jackson)
