wow, did anyone see that, the worlds biggest knee jerk?  i forget that the shrill pitch of moriss is a siren song to some.

and chuck, "I have a pretty hilarious cover of Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice done by some ska band that I know not the name of."

hey i have that as well and no clue who it's by.  it was labeled as nofx but i have no trust of people and their mislabeling of music ever since a long time agoi tried to obtain "waiting room" by fugazi and ended up with a system of a down song.  i also have a kick ass bluegrass cover of gin and juice.

i'll be honest and say that alot of time i actually like covers more then the original.  "man who sold the world" "turn around" and a cover they did of devo by nirvana...reel big fish and their cover of "hungry like the wolf" and the deftones cover of "chufeur" "i fall to pieces" and a shitload of the ramones covers by screeching weasel...uhh...i'm pretty sure i've heard a cover of the misfits by the murder city devils that would have made glen danzig realize his extence was futile and made him cry.

and hey i had no idea "eight miles" high by husker du was cover, heh.

Hmm, covers let's see.

DMB - The Maker (Daniel Lanois): Gorgeous song
Phish - too damn many.  Phish was like the masters of covers or something
moe. - In a Big Country (Big country):  awesome cover, it's on the Dither album
moe. - Enter Sandman (duh):  goofy, fun, bit of the rawk
Um - And Justice for All:  the boys of Umphrey's play the lights out on this one
Gov't Mule - What is Hip?: it's on Deep End Vol.2, very fun
Um. - Making Flippy Floppy (Talking Heads): They played a surprisingly strong cover of this one at Skyline this past august.
Dave Matthews and Friends did great covers of Solsbury Hill, Fire and Hell Bulldog, along with a great many other covers, on their 2003 tour.

Hmmm, I should dig up a copy of the Solsbury Hill cover, that's a catchy tune.

-sam's heart's going boom boom boom

synecdoche:
I quite like Jeff Buckley's version of "Halleleujah" (Leonard Cohen).  And The Man in Black has done some amazing covers in addition to what has already been named here ("Personal Jesus" [Depeche Mode], "Rusty Cage" [Soundgarden]).

And I didn't notice (possibly due to my slow wits) any mention of Gary Jules' "Mad World," which is pretty amazing.

One day I am going to record a cover of Gerard McMann's (I think) song "Cry Little Sister (The Lost Boys Theme)."  It is so 80's angst it is amazing. :)
