Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.
Jackie Blue:
Brought about by the Elliott Smith thread... we all know there are some things you just don't cover. Ever. For any reason.
The Smiths (also: note to shitty emo bands: stop naming yourselves after Smiths songs. Morrissey hates you.)
REM
Sonic Youth
Bob Dylan
I was about to type "The Rolling Stones" but then I remembered that totally awesome Inspiral Carpets cover of "Gimme Shelter"
Stone Roses
Spiritualized
Nirvana
Slint
My Bloody Valentine
Radiohead
Front 242 ("Headhunter 1969" doesn't count as a cover)
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jane's Addiction
Dead Kennedys
Who else?
SeanBateman:
What about Hendrix covering "All Along The Watchtower? Or Johnny Cash covering It Ain't Me Babe.
est:
I disagree with every entry in that list. It's just that shitty bands need to stop making shitty covers is all.
NiMRoD420:
Nothing is ever off limits.
I desire VERY MUCH to make a big long cool epic version of "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" by Dylan.
Jackie Blue:
Those Dylan covers are acceptable because of the Legend Rule: Legends Can Always Cover Legends.
This is why Siouxie and the Banshees are permitted to cover "The Passenger".
Add to list: Bob Marley.
The Clash.
Because the place I work had a white reggae band last night who covered both of those and it hurt. It really hurt.
