@mikey good shout with ignite. You going to see them? Tour (uk but starts tomorrow).

No, no London date for some reason.

Been pondering this, and I think I've got the [b]definitive[/b] rock cover of a non rock song!

Original as it ought to sound

The greatest cover ever :

Glad the Rage covers have been mentioned, personal faves from that album are Renegades, Street Fighting Man and Maggie's Farm.

On a similar vein, Deftones have done a fair few covers - whole album here;

Not a band I normally have much time for, but gotta love Limp Bizkit's version of George Michael's Faith

Here's more ๐Ÿ˜€

Some Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son

And Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls into Jim Carroll Band - People Who Died (reworked for Dave Brockie / Oderus Orungus)

Beautiful.

Another one in the guilty pleasure camp...

Steel panther - I want it that way
Celdweller - tragedy
Joey ramone - wonderful world
A day to remember - since u been gone
Placebo - daddy cool
Fall out boy- beat it
New found glory - kiss me
Reel big fish - take on me
The Ataris - boys of the summer
Me first and the gimme gimmes - sloop john B

And if you want to try a switcheroo, Paul anka's Rock swings cover album is a giggle.

I'll put links up tomorrow if work isn't busy ๐Ÿ™‚
