Music Covers

[Lakih]

I was browsing some music and found some good covers so i was stupid enough to deside to make a covers CD for the car...

I got a list of good covers so far but it's not enough to make a full CD, anyone know some great covers? I would like something alittle more upbeat though as the ones i have so far are quite slow.

I have neither me first and the gimme gimmes nor the baseballs on purpose.

This is what i got now:

Disturbed - Land of confusion (Genesis)
Dolly Parton - In the ghetto (Elvis Presley)
Faith no more - Easy (The commodores)
Guns 'n roses - Live and let die (Paul McCartney and Wings)
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine inch nails)
Marilyn Manson - Sweet dreams (Eurythmics)
Metallica - Turn the page (Bob Seger)
Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night (Lead belly)
The white stripes - Jolene (Dolly Parton)

There are a few other great songs i left out like Placebo - Running up that hill (Kate Bush), Joe Cocker - Little Help From My Friends (Beatles) and Gary Jules - Mad World (Tears for fears) because i dont want to fall asleep while im driving

I should have room for about 5-6 more songs... any suggestions?

Helter Skelter - U2 (Beatles)

Remove all that and put originals on list

Try The Baseballs, or reel big fish might have some(they have "take on me" atleast)

Keane - With or without you (U2)

It would be a pretty lousy covers CD if i put originals in it, wouldnt it?


Some great suggestions there, but most of them are abit too slow... you dont want me to fall asleep while driving... or do you?

Keane, Jeff Buckley, Santana, Simply red... all awesome.

The only song that actually made the CD was Guano Apes - Big in Japan (thanks Thorwyn! )

Thanks for the help though everyone!

A few more since I'm bored anyway,
[Disclaimer, they may not all be exactly great ]

Spoiler

YouTube - Disturbed-Land of Confusion with lyrics
YouTube - Dope - You Spin Me Round

Spoiler

YouTube - Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar (Music Video)
YouTube - Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

[Olgaline]

[Zenith.UK]

My suggestions...
YouTube - Gun - Word Up

YouTube - The Sisters Of Mercy - Gimme Shelter

YouTube - Cartel - Wonderwall cover

Added cheese...

Spoiler

YouTube - Björn Again - A Little Respect

And even more cheese...

Spoiler

YouTube - The Mike Flowers Pops - Wonderwall

Hey, I like Wonderwall!

And Olgaline... I totally approve of Dope - You Spin Me Round, and Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar

If I was putting together a covers CD, I'd be looking more at Apocalyptica doing Metallica covers, Katherine Jenkins covering 'Bring Me To Life' and Nightwish doing 'Walking In The Air' and 'Phantom Of The Opera'.
