--- 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.

Not possible! Lies, damm lies and that statement. Not that I've listened to it, this is just a knee jerk reaction because I can't imagine the campy style of Scissor Sisters doing anything but harm to a PinkFloyd song.

see, that's the thing - i don't think a cover can ever harm another song, or slight another band or anything along those lines - if they're good covers they're amazing - if they're bad, meh - ignore them... and the scissor sister cover IS good :) hehe - though i'd say it's more of a mix of pink fliyd - comfortably numb and frankie goes to hollywood - relax
and good covers there are many. such as the following
cure - love will tear us apart (joy division)
pear jam - fucking up (neil young)
pixies - i can't forget (leonard cohen)
[" i stumbled out of bed, i get ready for the stuggle,
i smoked a cigarette, and i tightened up my gut,
i said this can't be me, must be my double,
and i can't forget, and i can't forget,
and i can't forget but i don't remember what" - genius hehe]
placebo - running up that hill (kate bush)
shins - we will become silhouettes (postal sevice)
tori amos - 97 bonnie and clide (eminem) - creepy fucking song hehe
smashing pumpkins - transmission (joy division)
smashing pumpkins - never let me down again (depeche mode)
if i think of anymore... hehe
honest_that_way:
Elbow - Independent Women Part One. It was done for the Jo Whiley Show, contains gruff Bury accents, and just genius. Oh and the bit at the end: 'Happy Valentine's Day Jo' killed me, so dam funny.
Radiohead - Rhinestone Cowboy Just because his voice is so terrible on it.
Jesse Malin - What's So Funny (About Peace, Love and Understanding) Is brilliant live at the end of his sets as is Hungry Heart. Or Bill Murray's Version of it.
Whiskeytown - Helpless They did quite a few good covers actually.
Oh and forgot, Flaming Lips - 7 Nation Army
Schmung:
ah yes, the Independent Woman one was featured in a B3ta animation with Kittens and things, my flatmate had it and I forgot to pilfer it before I left Uni, curses!
All the women throw yer hands oop at mee etc hilarity ensues.
