I think that's one of the worst covers U2 has ever done.

I like their version. I didn't say it was better-but it is a cover I like.

It is funny cause I was going to do a thread simliar to this asking which covers are better and which are worse.

I just find it sad that so many bands are covering songs today, instead of original material. Nothing wrong with doing a song by another band, but it seems that the whole chart is full of covers.

also other covers I like
Foo Fighters-Darlin Nikki
REM-One(the U2 song)
Sepultura-Bullet In The Blue Sky-I heard this in a best buy one day. I have to say it makes me really appreciate The Edge alot more as a guitar player. Plus they do a real good version of this. Who would of thought? U2 covered by a death metal band. Next camibal corpse doing REM

covers I hate or cringe at hearing.

WILLIAM HUNG-SHE BANGS!!!> I love Ricky Martin( yes I do actually have the cd this song is off)
Jessica Simpson- ANGELS.( nobody will ever be as good as my ROBBIE)
BUsh(although I love Gavin)-Wild Horses
and a few more I am sure will come to me.

The other Jessica Simpson song...the one thats out now. Thats terrible.

P.O.D did a cover of Bullet The Blue Sky awile back. They may not be death metal but its definetely a harder version of the song. Its a pretty decent cover too.

Some of the songs you guys are listing are making me sad. There've been quite a few that I've read and thought "dear god, that one SUCKS compared to the original."

You guys need to listen to more older music.

Ryan Adam's Acoustic Live version of Wonderwall is pretty freakin awesome

John Mayer - Kid A

I just threw up in my mouth.

:O

Well, where else would you throw up?


American Pie - Garth Brooks

i would like to remind you all to download this song, not the studio one though it's kinda boring

OLP - Needle and the Damage Done (by the mighty NEIL YOUNG)
OLP - Drive (by THE CARS)
Foo Fighters - Darling Nicki (by Prince)
Johnny Cash - Hurt (by NIN)
White Stripes - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (by Bert Backarat)
Cake - I Will Survive
The Ataris - Boys Of Summer (by Don Henley)
Out Of Your Mouth - Music (by Madonna) - i hated that song till i heard the cover

I must agree OLP does awesome cover's of both the needle and the damage done, and imagine. The needle and the Damage done is some awesome guitar work by Mike

I'm pretty sure it was the Sex Pistols as a band, its on one of their greatest hits compilations.
