Great Cover(s)
El Opium:
Steel Pole Bathtub doing "What I Need" by The Cars because I love noise-rock bands doing covers that completly wreck the original.

--- Quote from: bachelorchow ---i'm going to commit indie suicide and admit my love of Bodyjar's beer-swilling on-every-snowboarding-game-soundtrack-ever cover of Simon and Garfunkles Hazy Shade of Winter. It was on a compilation I bought when I was 14 and it was the height of the whole Xtreme thing and i still love it. sigh...i miss 1998

I still like Bodyjar. They also covered Coolidge by Descendents and Rascist Friend by They Might Be Giants which were both pretty cool.
Yakob:
Dynamitekid, Live & Let Die is Paul & Linda McCartny.........I'm like 99.99% sure, i never actually heard the original
I actually like quite a few covers GNR did...........Knocking on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan), Since I Don't Have You (some 50's band, never heard the original) and Sympathy For The Devil (The Rolling Stones) are all excellent
Oh, and I like some punk covers of shit pop songs like Presidents of the USA's Video Killed The Radio Star and Me First and the Gimme Gimme's I Believe I Can Fly.........(shut up, I'm 14)

--- Quote from: amok ---Apoptygma Berzerk - Fade To Black. Should be sacrilege, but sounds ace.

Their live cover of Enjoy the Silence is actually pretty good, too, not counting the pointlessly long intro.
The Shroud's cover of Sister of Mercy's Alice is amazingly good, and this is coming from someone who really cannot stand the "violin, cello, and a weak female vocalist" style goth bands. I guess it also falls in the "should be sacriledge, comes out good" catagory.
I'd say Grendel's Zombie Nation 2k5 wins in comparison to the original, but I don't know if the original counts as music to begin with.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Metallica's cover of "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen is freaking kick ass, both versions of the song are.
that song was written to be covered by Metallica, i swear.
i also enjoy NoFX's cover of Don Mclean's "Vincent." i like NoFX, i like Don Mclean, i like Vincet Van Gogh......what's not to like?
