cover songs

[Arienette]

i was just thinking about cover songs and wondered which covers you all love and hate... my thoughts:

good: travis (or fountains of wayne) doing britney spears' "baby, one more time". bad: britney spears doing the stone's "satisfaction".
good: mike ness doing bob dylan's "don't think twice". bad: alien ant farm doing michael jackson's "smooth criminal".
good: orgy doing new order's "blue monday". bad: limp bizkit doing george michael's "faith".
good: lagwagon doing van morisson's "brown eyed girl". bad: marilyn manson doing soft cell's "tainted love".
good: elliott smith doing john lennon's "jealous guy". bad: snake river conspiracy doing the smith's "how soon is now?"

[eric]

bob dylan's "don't think twice"


try clapton's live version. it is also great. i think it is on a dylan tribute album

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

I always loved Bauhaus' cover of "Ziggy Stardust."

Britney covering "Satisfaction" is just so wrong on just so many levels!

[Tazz1376]

I like Guns N Roses' versions of Knockin' on Heavens Door and live and Let Die much more than the originals, and the Wallflowers cover of Heros by David Bowie is better than the original as well. Also, Nirvana's cover of Man Who Sold The World was good too.

Thanks To WWFallon

[Arienette]

I always loved Bauhaus' cover of "Ziggy Stardust."

[The Blowhard]

Good: Foo Fighter's doing Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street".
Awful: Madonna doing "American Pie"..she stinks!

[Noellevious]

Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal" before you've heard it two million times. Nice guitar riff.

You are my new friend, Arienette! Bauhaus is my fave band and I melt for Peter Murphy!

All good Tazz! All good!

[Se7en]

My current favorites are:

Tori Amos' new album "Strange Little Girls", which is an entire album of covers, done Tori style.
Coal Chamber's "Shock the Monkey" (with Ozzy!)
And A Perfect Circle's "Diary of a Lovesong", which is an emulsion of Ozzy's "Diary of a Madman" and the Cure's "Lovesong". It's fantastic performed live!

Bad covers are "Faith" by Bizkit (because ANYTHING they do is HORRIBLE), and also any techno-dance mix cover of any song.

snake river conspiracy doing the smith's "how soon is now"


I don't mind that cover at all (probably because I enjoy SRC), but I have to admitt that the original is better.

Thank you, WWFallon! You are my Olympic Hero!

The Wallflowers over Bowie and Eno? I think not!

[Gvac]

The Ramones were one of the only bands who consistently either did the original justice or actually made it better. I love their remakes of "Do You Wanna Dance?", "California Sun", "Surfin' Bird", "Baby, I Love You",.....the list goes on and on.

And I'm with Heckler on the "Heroes" thing; The Bowie/Eno original can't be topped!

I bow to Lt. Rooster for this sig pic

[Arienette]

as this has progressed, i have been thinking of more and more covers i like...

white stripes doing son house's "death letter"
dope doing dead or alive's "you spin me round"
social distortion doing johnny cash's "ring of fire"
elliott smith doing blue oyster cult's "don't fear the reaper"
godhead doing the beatles' "eleanor rigby"
luna doing guns n roses's "sweet child o mine"
fiona apple doing the beatles' "across the universe"
pearl jam doing bob marley's "redemption song"

oasis does another less than stellar cover of heroes

[JimBeam]

Tazz : Good call on the Wallflowers and Nirvana.

A few covers I liked ( heard them courtesy of Napster ) were :

The Flys : Crazy Train

The Nixons : Rocket Man

Matchbox 20 : Nothing Compares 2 U

Matchbox 20 : Time After Time

( I know those are a little gay, but they brought back good 80's memories, LOL )

Pearl Jam : Baba O'Reily & Roadhouse Blues

Soundgarden : Come Together

Class Of 1999 : Another Brick In The Wall Part 2

( I dont care what people say, as great as the original was, this was still a kick as version. )

Hootie & The Blowfish : Hey, Hey What Can I Do

I have balls !!!

[Sheeplovr]

Bad covers are "Faith" by Bizkit (because ANYTHING they do is HORRIBLE),

POWER AND CHAOS

[Circus Boy]

being a big radiohead fan i like their version of wish you were here and nobody does it better...i always liked cover songs for some reason..its cool so hear someone else's take on an already established song

<img src="http://wwfallon.homestead.com/files/RFnetCircusBoy.jpg">
Compliments of WWFallon.

[sketchy]

No better cover then Sid Vicious's version of My Way.







<IMG SRC=http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fbdling2/files/sketchy's sigpics/100>

[impactplayer2k1]

Guns and Roses version of Knockin on heaven's door kicks ass!!!

[Arienette]

No better cover then Sid Vicious's version of My Way.

truer words were never spoken. that's a great cover. i spend kind of a lot of money on the sid sings record with that song on it... even though i don't have a turn table

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

How about the Circle Jerks' "medley" of songs like "Along comes Mary," "Having my Baby," and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E." Too funny!!


<IMG SRC="http://members.home.net/vitamin.d/referencepix/fuzzybutt.jpg">

[girl germs]

anti-flag did a nice cover of "orgasm addict" by the buzzcocks

two other covers i really like:

pizzacato five covering "the girl from ipanema"

ida playing "this little light of mine"

Perry,

You just reminded me of The
Replacement's cover of Black
Diamond. Awesome!

[erinmoran]

Although they are rarities Creed has done some cool Doors covers. Riders Of the Storm with Ray Manzarek at Woodstock 99 rocked!

<img src="http://www.dork.com/noway/em3.jpg"height=100 width=300

i touched Scott Baios junk

[JerryTaker]

heh, some I've always loved....

Aerosmith's "Come Together" and "Train Kept A-Rollin"

Spineshank's "While My Guitar
gently Weeps"

Life of Agony's "Redemption Song" and "Don't you Forget About Me"

Type-O-Negative's 7-minute long version of "Paranoid"

Paradise Lost's "How Soon is Now"

Bloodhound Gang's "Tricky" (RUN DMC)

hm, that's all I can think of right now...


-JerryTaker

"I remember now. I remember how it started. I can't remember yesterday, I just remember doing what they told me"

[Cheebahawk]

The Gourds cover of Snoop Dogs "Gin & Juice" - country style, its really sweet & of course Jimi Hendrix cover of Bob Dylans
"All Along the Watchtower"

[CrazyClare]

i think all along the watchtower is the most covered song ever, the dead, hendrix...

http://members.aol.com/rnfpantera/cclare

[Cheebahawk]

Maybe, but the Hendrix version is where the buck stops, even Dylan said it was the quitesential version > Jimi made the song his. Probably the most covered song is Yesterday by the Beatles.

[fatty]

hey girl germs, where can i hear that weezer cover of aneruysm (spelled wrong) that's awesome. i have weezer playing the old dukes of hazzard theme unplugged but that's like the only cover i have by weezer

it's true,
it's damn true!

<IMG SRC=http://www.toptown.com/dorms/creedstonegate/movie/bigl3.jpg>

[girl germs]

<i>"hey girl germs, where can i hear that weezer cover of aneruysm"</i>

i have the cover on a mix cd my friend made me. i bet you can download it off some napster type program, though. if not, i can send it to you (not through e-mail, though, unfortunately). if you have aim, you can send me an instant message at whenever i'm logged on and i can send you the mp3 file that way.

by the way, it's aneurysm. just letting you know.

another cover i really enjoy is bratmobile's cover of "where eagles dare" by the misfits.

Good: Elvis Presley (tha king baby), doing "You lost that loving feeling" I fel that the King did better than the original...any song I hear remixed now is bad...there is no new good songs with out it being emixed, so dont even talk to me about revamps...know what revamps are...last ditch attempts by record companies to recognize what is cool and what isnt...and the sad thing is they dont...
