Johnny Cash's hurt is pretty sweet.

Mad World (Tears for fears(i think)) - Evergreen Terrace
Kids arnt alright (Offspring) - Evergreen Terrace

thats all i can really think of right now.

Evergreen Terrace's "Writer's Block" CD has tons of good covers.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes has some great covers obviously.

Grade did an amazing cover of "Panama" by Van Halen

Good Riddance' s cover of The Kinks "Come Dancing"

Underoath's cover of The Police's "Wrapped around your finger" is great too.

I like to think Dylan was just keeping Watchtower warm until Hendrix came along.

Also, does Ferry Corsten's remix of Barber's Adagio for Strings count?

I strongly urge people to find the Soundgarden cover of Come Together by the beatles (also covered by Aerosmith) but Soundgarden's cover is AWESOME.
Also, Live and Let Die, Guns N' Roses....both the original and the cover are amazing.

Riiight.... because death metal is sooo unique...

"hey, look at me guy's, I have long greasy hair, so that obviously means i can sing metal."

(Inaudible German Noises) "Rahhh, Blood on your face."
(Inaudible German Noises) "Rahhh, Eat a baby..."
(Inaudible German Noises) "Rahhh, bleeding sore pussy."

[Darkane]

LOL!:rofl: (Inaudible German Noises) "Rahhh, Eat a baby..."

Acutally Germans are the only ones still making good modern Thrash. Sweds are good too. Only Exodus and a handfull of other american bands are keep thrash alive. Besides death metal is ok but I avoid MOST of it :)

[RXsevenmonk]

My favortie cover is Zwan (billy corgans new project) cover of Iron maidens "the number of the beast" from the open sequence of the movie spun......

Scrolled through the whole thread to make sure that the greatest cover of all time was listed (Whiskey).

I also like:
John Mayer, cover of 'Message in a Bottle' by The Police.
G 'n' R, cover of 'Sympathy for the Devil' by The Rolling Stones.

Lots of good ones as well as bad. I think some UK boy band redid A-Ha's 'Take on Me' and Sheryl Crow put out 'Sweet Child O' Mine' a few years ago. Very bad indeed.

Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmies :thumbsup:
