Maybe there are TOO MANY covers? Does this mean innovation in music is dead? I don't think so, myself.. but it does make ya wonder

The Beautiful South.

Yo La Tengo do such an awesome version of Blitzkrieg Bop, it's not even funny. But my favorite cover would have to be Luna's version of Sweet Child o' Mine. Sometimes i listen to it and try to imagine the look on Axl's face when/if he heard it. bliss.
oh, and Shonen Knife's "Top of the World" is hella cool too.

I have recently become obsessed with Ewigkeit's version of Burzum-Ea, Lord of the Deeps.
Entitled 'Ea 2000-Out for the Count' (referring to sole member of Burzum Count Grishnack) Ewigkeit takes Burzum's minimalistic, chilling black metal masterpiece and doubles the complexity of the drum part, puts clean vocals on it, and adds synths, samples, random electronic effects, and random cries in the background. Things like "Ea, Lord of the Fucking Deeps', "This One's for the count baby" and at at least one point a full-on pirate-style "Aaahhrrr'
So insanely awesome.
