At The Drive In - This night has opened my eyes
Dirty Projectors, the Rise Above album is interesting I guess. Some half arsed covers of Black Flag
Slayer - Filler/I dont wanna hear it (Minor Threat cover, and absolute weapon of a song)
Minutemen - 3 Way Tie for last album - some good covers on there.

One of the best covers has to be Muse's version of Feeling Good by Nina Simone. Epic
Me First and the gimmie gimmies is alwas good to listen to before a blast through the forest so many wicked covers.
cheers

I dont know who did it, but the folky whiney bird that did a cover of Sweet child 'O Mine that was on the Xmas John Lewis ad should have her head on a pike. Heresey!

zigzag69 - Finally, someone else with the sense to realise hellsongs are ace.
The other way around (well, he's a famous singer if you are a redneck or kris kristoffersen) I heartily endorse Larry Jon Wilson's covers of "Sapelo" and "Friday Night Fight At Al's Place", both from the Country Soul Revue (hat tip to Craig Charles on that one)

Marilyn Manson covering Sweet Dreams is ace

Has anyone mentioned Ian Brown doing "In the year 2525" off his latest album? Strange choice, but then he is a bit strange.

**** Spotify won't connect so I can't confirm, but Camera Obscura did a fantastic Abba cover on 6Music a few months back.
er... Hounds of Love by the Futureheads? Thing is, that's the version that I heard first, so whenever I hear the Kate Bush version I think it sounds dreadful...Posted 2 years ago # -
