--- Quote from: blindsuperhero ---Worst cover ever:
Tatu - How Soon Is Now?
Just seeing those words written down causes great pain, deep within my soul.

Um...I actually really like that version.
mee-kay-la:
--- Quote from: pintsizeshomie ---i agree with u m4c
Pink FLoyd is teh definition of awsome, hail David Gilmour and Roger Waters
Korn mercileslly raped "another brick in the wall"
--- End quote ---
Oh god. They are egotistical enough to think that they could cover "Another Brick"...?
Regardless, Pink Floyd is just... Pink Floyd. You can't cover them. It does not work.
Kyoku:
Ah, the cover...
Does one judge the excellent of a replicated song buy how close the second artist comes to the first?
Or do we determines the kick-ass-ness of a cover by how much one can skewer the song with their own vision and still make it entertaining? (anything by The Moog Cookbook, all the Primus covers, The Gourds' "Gin and Juice")
But the best covers are the unlikely ones. Like TMBG covering Cub, or like I mentioned earlier, the honky-tonkin' Gourds playind Snoop Dogg.
Or the grandaddy of them all, Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails. That one came out of nowhere. But I am curious to see hoe Trent Reznor would perform a song like "A Boy Named Sue".
blindsuperhero:
One judges it by how good it sounds.
Cpt.Fantastic:
--- Quote from: flowers for charlie ---the Scissor Sisters did a cover of Comfortably Numb that is at least 4,000,000 times better than the original.
--- End quote ---
You sir, are an arsehole.
Mine has to be All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix (orig. Bob Dylan), if it hasn't already been said.
