Favorite Cover songs

[webbydude]

Korn -- Another Brick In The Wall

That one is pretty close to tops on my list. A ton of my friends lay the smackdown on me whenever I mention how much I like it (gotta luv the passion from the Floyd purists)

Linda Ronstadt had lots of covers, but my favorite was "When Will I be Loved", originally by the Everly Brothers.

I'll have to remember to post the video I took of a couple of covers I saw at Okaloosa Island, FL last year. The old school gamers will love it!

"Turn the Page" by Bob Seeger, as covered by Metallica

I'm with you there.

Little Big Town -- Go Your Own Way from Fleetwood mac I saw them with Lindsey Buckingham on Crossroads and they kicked butt on this song and The Chain...

I always liked Metallica's take on Tuesday's Gone.

My favorite from recent memory is Possession originally by Sarah McLachlan covered by Evans Blue. Probably one of the best covers of a song I've ever heard.

I'm not a big fan of ska, but Reel Big Fish did a great cover of a-ha's Take on Me

 

[Mr Tony]

I really like:
Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.

that one is nuts. Brings chills when I hear it. Even Trent Reznor (lead singer of NIN) said that the song is no longer his after hearing Johnny Cash's version

Agreed #1 has to be "Hurt" by NIN covered by Johnny Cash. Another good one is "Gin & Juice" by Snoop Dogg covered by The Gourds. Hilarious.

Youtube definitely eats up the video and audio, eh?

I'll post some others, I can't remember this band's name but they played for like 4 or 5 hours with very few breaks. Awesome band.

Layla - Derek and the Domino's, Layla (Unplugged version) - Eric Clapton covering himself.

 

[Skibum]

"Hurt" by NIN, covered by Johnny Cash is right up there.

I also like this version of Holy Diver, covered by Killswitch Engage (one of my +fave metal bands): YouTube - KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - Holy Diver

 

[sidekick]

Best cover ever (IMHO): All Along the Watchtower. Written and performed by Bob Dylan and covered by Jimi Hendrix.
