best remake of a song..
 

example; blue monday - orgy, personal jesus - marilyn manson,one - korn.

these are just examples and not by the original artist.

A Perfect Circle "Imagine"
A Global Threat "We're Not Gonna Take It"

Tainted Love-Soft Cell

they did imagine? The beatles imagine was awesome,if its that one,I got to check that out if it is. what cd is it on? I dont watch tv so would never have caught it.

who did soft cell sample it from, cause that song is pretty old.

Grr, someone said it to me when I first came here, but I forgot, sorry :/

AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH...NNNNOOOOOOoooooo!!!


Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus.

Jon Lennon did it not the beatles i think its on emotive its amazing.

It's a Northern Soul classic.
Gloria Jones, 1964.

wow.

dont touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease....

I like a song called "beat me to the punch" I know who its by, I just cant think of it.its written good and is pretty old. fun to sing. - - - off the subject.

Yes's version of Paul Simon's America, in my opinion.

Pretty much every Nirvana cover kicks ass.

The Who, Rush and Blue Cheer have all done some kickass versions of Summertime Blues.

Mary Wells?

my bad... I dont pay attention to solo couriers, like that phil collins... He sounds the same as he did in genesis.

I love that song, its has real power. What cd is it on for the perfect cirle?

powerful songs will live forever...

yup yup... she wrote that song with good notes.. I knew it was mary wells or the marvellets but know that I think of it there so different.

I think its on emotive.

I prefer the Temptations version.

I like them also.. and the four tops.jimmy ruffian, etc. Its all good, I like that they all knew how to sing really good. and if they didn't they had there own style.

I forgot;
enjoy the silence - mike shinoda/depeche mode

im probably going to be murdered for this, but i think atreyu did a decent job covering "you give love a bad name" by bon jovi.

social distortion's cover of "ring of fire" by johnny cash.

avril lavigne's cover of "chop suey" by system of a down....*dies laughing*

ive actually heard that one :laughing:

Love Song - Jack Off Jill (The Cure)
Heart of Glass - Lunachicks (Blondie)


and NOFX's cover of Ghostbusters

i cant think of any more right now

yep, that and Death Cab For Cutie - This Charming Man

Dimebag Darrel's remake of Little Wing.

haha, I just listened to the SOAD cover:rofl:

Well i can give you the worste one.....Tom sawyer (rush cover) re-done by MSI.........man i hate that band lol

????????????I <3 MSI, tom sawyer.....it was awesome

Well in that case......To Each His Own

Most covers are pretty awful, regarding the covers of great songs.

Nothing really comes to mind apart from Sheryl Crows cover of The First Cut Is The Deepest, it is not a bad version of it, a female version that is.

I don't want to be a **** but me thinks people might just be listing covers cause there are some pretty **** covers listed here.

i love the Whos version of Under my thumb but my two favourite covers are Hendrix's All along the watchtower and Frank Zappas reggae version of Stairway to Heaven - i cant stand the original cos ive heard it so many times so its nice to hear a different version for a change

Good call. I liked that cover.

Some that come to mind right now
Johnny Cash & Joe Strummer- Redemption Song
Tori Amos- Strange Little Girls (entire album)
The Avengers- Paint it Black
Taj Mahal- Brown eyed Handsome Man
Toots and the Maytals - Take Me Home Country Roads
Le Tigre- I'm So Excited
Sahara Hotnights- Rockaway Beach
Motorhead- God Save the Queen

good one. me likey

Johnny Cash - Hurt(NIN)
Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction - Born To Be Wild(Steppenwolf)
WASP - Somebody To Love(Jefferson Airplane)

ya a perfect circle

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - The White Stripes.

Only your 3 hours too fast for me:(
