The Awesome Covers Thread!

I was coming in here to post both the Dinosaur Jr covers.
I will forever love Dave Grohl's half-assed cover of Stairway to Heaven. Cracks me up every time.

same here man, they were an amazing band, possibly the best in the UK. do you have all their stuff? I've got the two full-lengths, the "scent of the obscene" EP (with an awesome cover of Maiden's "Wrathchild"), and the "Flogging the Horses" EP (mostly demos/alternate versions, and a remix). let me know if you need any of it, and i'll up it in the mediaf!re thread.

The Sisters of Mercy's cover versions of Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones) and Emma (Hot Chocolate) are superb, and much better than the respective originals.
I also like some of Placebo's covers, like Daddy Cool (Boney M.) and Jackie (Sinead O'Connor), even though it's unforgivable how they fucked up Bigmouth Strikes Again (Smiths).
What's really awesome is fIREHOSE covering Public Enemy's Sophisticated Bitch on the Live EP.

Great Aunt Ida covering the Waterboys' "Fisherman's Blues"
I like it about the same as the original, but on this version you really get a feel for how great the lyrics are. Plus, I love Great Aunt Ida.
