I can't think of any. I despise ironic covers even by bands I enjoy.

Well, I guess we disagree because I think Nirvana did a great cover of Son Of a Gun, I'm just not into the vasselines as much, I definitaly wouldn't call them bad but Nirvana's cover is more my taste.

And no, I don't hink Nirvana played Plateau better than the Meat Puppets, nor did they do Oh, Me and in my opinion, which differ from many, I like the original Lake of Fire more.

Crappy original: Snowblind - Black Sabbath

Great cover: Snowblind - System Of A Down

Yeah, leave it to System of a Down to make gold out of crap like Black Sabbath.

To me, the definition of this thread.

Blah, the Dead Kennedys version dude.

Not heard it, surely ZZ Top's version cant be surpassed, they totally made it their own.

EDIT: I checked out the Dead Kennedys version & I like it, but it still doesnt surpass ZZ Tops cover.

Mushroomhead's cover of Crazy is amazing. The original is by Seal, which is in my opinion horrible.

listen to it now then ;)

Yeah, but still doesnt beat ZZ Tops version man!

I like Seal's work including that song. Hes an excellent soul singer. 'Kiss From A Rose' is one that I heard from a very early age.

This song was by no means bad in the first place, but the cover version is ten times better than the original.
