Devil's advocate here, but two different covers of this song:
1. Hot girl, changing it up A LOT

2.Umm, if you re easily offended, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK!

Re: "Legends" covering stuff, good covers, in my opinion: Faith No More "Easy", Johnny Cash "Personal Jesus" & Nirvana (Seeing as they've been talked about a lot) "Molly's Lips" Soft Cell "Tainted Love" Sonic Youth "Touch Me I'm Sick" (If you've not heard it Kim Gordon does vocals, it's hot....)
Marilyn Mason should stop covering songs. (I just realised as I was typing he covered two in that list....ugh!)
Alex C:
I'm strongly in favor of making fun of Fergie, so I have a hard time hating the My Humps cover, but yeah, I hate "You Oughta Know". It's surreal going through old magazines and music articles; all these adjectives like "searing" and "blistering" get strewn about that song and for the life of me I have no idea what the fuck it is they're hearing that I don't.

to be fair, it'd take a stroke of genius to make a version of that song that wasn't bland.

I dunno.. Amanda Palmer did a pretty awesome cover when she was at the Spiegeltent in Melbourne with Ali McGregor. And also if you look it up on YouTube, she also does a solo cover of it using a ukelele.
And for all you Aussies.... Have you heard Karnivools's cover of Gotye's The Only Way? OMG SO AWESOME.

(few posts up) Swans do two awesome covers of Love Will Tear Us Apart. And I got some random dub EP called 'Dub Will Tear Us Apart' awhile ago with a sick instrumental reggae version.

The Arrogant Sons of Bitches covered a load of Radiohead songs, unfortunately(?) Creep wasn't among them. You can download the album from the Quote Unquote Records site.
