best cover ever :>

[ReActor]

currently id have to say joss stone's fell in love with a boy

a cover of white stripes fell in love with a girl

Yeah, proper good cover that one. Really different but retains something of the original.

 

[Nott]

So many good covers its hard to remember
Adding a few not mentioned which I like

Gun - Word up (Cameo)
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics)
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Prince)

 

[Doomy]

Any cover done by Man Or..... Astroman?

They did one for the pixies (Manta Ray) and loads by the Surftones (namely Alpha Surfari). Amazing live band but mainly instrumental other than their later slightly weaker tracks. If you can imagine surf music from the 60's, speeded up a few hundred beats per second with warped ancient science fiction overtones you will love them. Oh and a rather splendid cover of Destination Venus by the Rezillos

PJ Harvey & Bjork, I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Is this available on an album anywhere? Heard it live on some lame award show and it was awesome.

Best cover, other than the above, 'Live and Let Die' by Guns and Roses. I normally hate covers, and Guns and Roses if I'm honest about it, but that one really flicked my switch.

 

[Mobius]

Both Cradle of Filth and Hypocrisy's cover of Black Metal (original by Venom)
And also Graveworms cover of Losing My Religion (By R.E.M)

 

[Derric]

Tool - No Quarter
Jane's Addiction - Sympathy For The Devil
Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas

I can send it to you if you like, PM or smthing.

Going to have to agree with FuzzyLogic and Reactor - Street Spirit by The Darkness is classic, and not just for comedy value.

Dexy's Midnight Runners - 'Jackie Wilson Said' is another cover i enjoy.

Dexys Rule

 

[inactionman]

Apocalyptica - Enter Sandman (using only Chello's)
GNR - Live & Let Die
GNR - Sympathy for the Devil
Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love
The Muppets - Mahna Mahna
Vic Reeves And The WonderStuff - Dizzy
Vic Reeves & someone else - I'm a believer
William Orbit -Barber's Adagio For Strings
Anything by Wierd Al

Everything Richard Cheese has ever recorded... :worthy:

Groovie Ghoulies - I hate mondays
Nirvana - Man who sold the world
Pansy Division - Breaking the law

 

[Gurnox]

I can send it to you if you like, PM or smthing.

That would be amazing! Cheers!

William Orbit -Barber's Adagio For Strings

I've never quite understood this. William Orbit's "cover" of this piece of music is merely the original composition played with synthetic strings - nothing else modified, added or taken away. You could barely call it a cover at all.

When Ferry Corsten's dance version was released it was done so under William Orbit's name, but not for any good reason.

Groovie Ghoulies - I hate mondays
Nirvana - Man who sold the world
Pansy Division - Breaking the law

The Man Who Sold the World is an absolute stunner. Nirvana really made that one their own.

lost prophets - cry me a river

 

[Scooba da Bass]

lost prophets - cry me a river

That's a truly atrocious cover. They've taken a pretty decent pop song and taken all the good stuff out of it.

 

[Bodhi]

That's a truly atrocious cover. They've taken a pretty decent pop song and taken all the good stuff out of it.

This is a truly atrocious opinion. You've taken an awesome cover and suggested the original Justin Timberland version is better.

 

[Gurnox]

No cover could ever be worse than 'The Fog on The Tyne' by Paul Gascoigne. Nothing else even comes close in terms of bowel opening awfulness.

Paint it Black by Fennez (EP: Plays)

A much covered song and I think the version by Inkkubus Sukkubus is pretty good.
