Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.
Johnny C:
Fuck I love Nouvelle Vague.
Jackie Blue:
That "Killing Moon" cover does fucking rock.
I still prefer the Pavement version though. "Cucumber, cu-cu-cu-cumber."

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

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.

Good God, I love that album. 'Hi, we're going to play some boring shit and you'll sit and listen to it because we're Radiohead.'

--- Quote from: Valrus on 10 Jan 2008, 13:03 ---Yeah I think the only way to do that would be to add a couple really crunchy guitar stabs just before the chorus.
Or wait, has someone already tried that?

The sentenced cover is a bit heavier than Radioheads original (Plus I like Ville's vocals a lot better, but Im biased because I like Setenced and dislike Radiohead)
Also for someone mentioning the horrible CoF cover of Mr. Crowley, Moonspell did an amazing cover of that song (but Fernando is a SINGER)
Weird Covers i have:
Machine Head covering "Message in a bottle"
Children of Bodom covering "Rebel Yell" (I love CoB, but Alexi shouldnt be singing)
Graveworm covering "Losing My Religion"
Umbra Et Imago covering "Rock Me Amadeus"
Angelzoom covering "Crawling" (Linkin fucking Park covered in an opera style singer, wtf)
Sinergy covering "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" Power metal cover of ABBA, I honestly dont know wtf to think
Also, CoB covered "Oops I did it again" and its awsome.

Jackie Blue:
There's a whole album of awesomely weird REM covers.

This pretty much sums it up:
"Phelg Camp's cover of "Feeling Gravitiy's Pull" is awesome. If you are one of those artsy-fartsy REM/GenXer's "woe-is-me-no-one-understands-me" fans typical to the late 80s and early 90s expecting to hear the urgent pathos of Michael Stipe's voice re-interpreted then you are an idiot. If the title does not give away what this record is about then you need to go back and review satire and parody in your high school literature text. If you are into punk rock then this is a great record for you. This isn't about mood, pathos, or art this is about having fun with the most overrated "mood" band of the 1990s."
