Best Cover Versions
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: hooligan ---Oh, and this one will get me mercilessly flamed, but...
"Sweet Home Alabama" - Skrewdriver (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
--- End quote ---
Was that before or after they went Nazi? I'm guessing after, since I read that was when they went more rock. I've heard people sticking up for the musical merits of the first line-up before, but never the later records.
muffy:
I've just heard The Cribs covering The Kaiser Chiefs...
Their version sounds identical.
Which is a waste of a perfectly good cover to me.
steve-king:
--- Quote from: neomang5 ---Green Day - I fought the law (green day + excellent song = w00t!)

OK - I'm old + ignorant so humour me - where do I get a copy of that? It must be great. Oysterband did a good version years ago as well.
Other covers I like:
REM - Wall of Death (Richard Thompson)
Oysterband - Road To Nowhere (Talking Heads)
and if I'm allowed, The Home Service - Sorrow/Babylon (partly traditional)
amok:
Swans' "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (the one with Jarboe singing) is pretty good. And Zero Cipher's rendition of "Gay Bar" by E6. :D
hooligan:

They were always racist. Unfortunately, they were also very good.
