No one's mentioned Pearl Jam's cover of Last Kiss yet.

Muse's cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You is awesome. :nod:

Live does a realy nice acoustic cover of Imagine.

OLP's version version of Eternal Life cant even come close to Buckley's.

anyway my favorite cover is "Mad World" from Donnie Darko

Aaron Lewis - Black (Pearl Jam)
Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan); Day Tripper (the Beatles); Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry); Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)
Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Them Changes (Buddy Miles); Voodoo Child (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
Nirvana - Any cover that they played on Unplugged
Rebekah Del Rio - Llorando ("Crying" by Roy Orbison)
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix Experience)

That's 'cause it sucked.

I agree with Ben Folds and "In-Between Days".

How about Devo's cover of "(Can't Get No) Satisfaction"? Great, great, great stuff.

how about coldplay's cover of hot in here, i know it's only like 20 seconds long but damn that's one of the greatest things i've ever heard.

One-Eye · Post by **One-Eye** » 9/15/2003, 1:21 pm

I enjoy Eels' cover of "Get Your Freak On" and They Might Be Giants' cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Cake's cover of "I Will Survive".

So many good covers out there!

The only OLP cover I like is "Drive". Anyone know where I can get that?

Speaking of Muse, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the amazing Nina Simone cover they did of "Feeling Good"... check it out if you can!

Anyways, here are some of my favorite covers:

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (hands down the greatest cover ever made!)
Ours - Bohemian Rhapsody (great version... without all that psycho crazy stuff at the end that you're probably used to)
Our Lady Peace - Eternal Life, Needle and the Damage Done, Tomorrow Never Knows
The Ataris - Boys of Summer
Fear Factory - Cars (I usually don't care for Fear Factory, but man this is a pretty good cover)

P.S. Great choice with the "Mad World" cover from Donnie Darko...
