This is up there with my favourites.
Funnily enough, one of my faves is also Scissor Sisters – Comfortably Numb.
Also I absolutely adore She by Elvis Costello.
China Drum – Wuthering Heights
Ooks of Hazzard – MGMT cover.
Awesome 🙂
Slayer – Filler/I dont wanna hear it. Dead fast minor threat cover
St Etienne, "Only love can break your heart" Much as I love Neil Young's original, I like this more.
clicky
Word up, covered by Gun.
Viva Las Vegas by the Dead Kennedys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1enywhs7vfk
Johnny Cash has a few crackers – Hurt, Personal Jesus but my favourite would be Solitary Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSJxvi767kQ
The Ben Folds cover of Bitches Aint Shit is great too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSJxvi767kQ
Arctic monkeys doing Girls aloud's Love Machine.
Teenage Fanclub's "like a virgin"
Richard Cheese is great value. I think his cover of Snoop's Gin & Juice could be my favourite
The Killers doing Romeo and Juliet.
always liked this cover of The Clash – Guns Of Brixton
Faith No More's version of Warpigs. Better than the original IMO.
Futureheads – Hounds of Love
All Saints – under the bridge
Chris Cornell – Billy Jean
The Cure's cover of Love will tear us apart is flipin top banana
ultraviolence's hardcore gaba techno version of sabbaths paranoid is great
but my favorite covers are
Cradle of filth covering Clif Richards "devil woman"
and
the murderdolls cover of "white wedding"
schneider tm – the light 3000 is quite different from the smiths – or some of the nouvelle vague stuff – love will tear us apart for instance.
Placebo doing Kate Bush's 'Running up that Hill' is fantastic 8)
Walk on By – the Stranglers
*THREAD CLOSED*
Oh hang on Victoria – The Fall
*THREAD REALLY CLOSED*
Machine Head – Message in a Bottle
Fear Factory – Cars
Gun – Word Up (nicked from above, but true)
The Wildhearts – Cheers theme tune (for cheery smiles)
That chris cornell cover reminded me of this Alien Ant Farm
Although pretty much all Hayseed Dixie's covers are great
Some beauties there, my choice better than Stevie, but he cant see it
Metallica 'Whiskey in the Jar'
End. 🙂
Oh yeah – that's a goodun'
That's a good call.
I like that Schneider TM track too, and Galaxie 500's cover of Ceremony by Joy Division.
But for me it has to be Speeding Motorcyle by The Pastels. Originally by Daniel Johnston.
And while searching for it I found this beautiful version by Yo La Tengo as well.
Cake doing 'i Will Survive'.
The Twilight Singers doing 'Black Is The Colour Of My True Loves Hair'
Judas Priest doing the old Joan Baez number Diamonds and Rust or Guns N Roses version of Live and Let Die was also very good as was Rainbow's version of Mistreated from their Onstage album
Helter Skelter- Siouxsie And The Banshees Police and Thieves- The Clash Them were the days…………
Currently liking Plan B cover of Tinie Tempah – Pass Out
Linda Ronstadt…..written by a monkee…Mike Nesmith
Much as like the Lemonheads its not as good as the original
Bryan Ferry – Jealous Guy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnIwcf7SG8Q
Expect big things very soon
or Hurt by Johnny Cash (was NIN) or Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley or I Am The Walrus by Oasis or Step On by Happy Mondays
or maybe just maybe The Man Who Sold The World by Nirvana (Lulu also did a pretty good cover of it)
+1 Only Love Can Break Your Heart
This Mortal Coil Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley)
Cat Power I found a reason (Lou Reed)
Coldcut Autumn Leaves (Irresistible Force remix) (old jazz standard)
sonic youth do the carpenters superstar
