Best Cover Versions
nickyandthefuture:
Ooh, I was digging through my old 7" records tonight and started listening to the Built to Spill/Marine Research split. I had forgotten how good it was - BtS covers "By the Way" by MR and MR covers "Sick and Wrong" by BtS...

Indeed!
I love covers.
I think my favorite has to be either Reel Big Fish's cover of Hungry Like The Wolf and Fiona Apple's cover of Bill Withers' Use Me.
The Sneaker Pimps cover of Firestarter and the Bjork cover of Satisfaction might be the two sexiest tracks in my collection.
The funniest have to be David Byrne covering Missy Elliot and Robie Williams covering Eminem.

this is a long list because i am a whore for covers, and also so i'll have no excuse to pop up twice a day with more that i forgot.
Tori Amos : '97 bonnie & clyde <Eminem>
Rosetta Stone : rain <Madonna> unfortunately, i do not have this track. i heard it önce years ago, and the beauty has stayed with me ever since.
Rosetta Stone : eye <the Smashing Pumpkins>

the Sisters ov Mercy : comfortably numb <Pink Floyd>
the Sisters ov Mercy : emma <Hot Chocolate>
the Sisters ov Mercy : knocking on heaven's door <Bob Dylan>
Tori Amos : real men <Joe Jackson>
Locust : master and servant <Depeche Mode>
Collide : the lunatics have taken over the asylum <the Fun Boy Three> rosetta stone's was also really good, but collide's was grooviër.
Trust Obey vs. Paved in Skin : revenge <Ministry> everytime i listen to this, i want to do an animated musick video based on terry pratchett's soul music.
Attrition : memory, uncaring friend <Black Tape for a Blue Girl>
Lycia : across a thousand blades <Black Tape for a Blue Girl>
unto Ashes : (don't fear) the reaper <the Blue Oyster Cult>
Ophelia Rising with Abominable Id : the speed ov pain <Marilyn Manson> i burst into tears so bad listening to this song. it's that beautiful.
Marilyn Manson : i put a spell on you <Screamin' Jay Hawkins> most ov their covers suck, but this öne was undeniably groovy.
Concrete Blonde : when you smile <the Dream Syndicate>
Concrete Blonde : everyvbody knows <Leonard Cohen>
Einstürzende Neubauten : sand <Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra>
Numb : push it <Salt 'n' Pepa> find this. it is hilarious. it is pure genius.
Coil : tainted love <Soft Cell made it famous, but they weren't the first. if anyöne can tell me who was, i'd be very happy>
KharBevNor:
Oh yeah, and I feel I need to point out Entombed's entire groovy-as-fook 'Sons of Satan Praise the Lord' cover CD, where the inventors of Death 'n Roll cover everything from the obvious (S.O.D.-March of the S.O.D.) to the comic (A rather awesome punk version of Amazing grace) to the utterly suprising (Bob Dylan-The Ballad of Hollis Brown, MC5-Kick out the Jams)
@Malice: I'd forgotten all of KMFDM's covers! They're all awesome. My fave is 'These Boots are Made for Walking'. Every time I hear it I can't believe it wasn't originally written as an Industrial stomp anthem.

i didn't list that öne because it just seemed too obvious. and i've, sadly, never heard their cover ov madonna's 'material girl.'
as far as KMFDM-related fun goes, although i said i wouldn't post more, i somehow COMPLETELY forgot pig. every pig cover i've ever heard is amazing, so...
Pig : head like a hole <Nine Inch Nails>
Pig : disobedience <KMFDM>
Pig : 1979 <the Smashing Pumpkins>
