Best cover song ever?

Post by Clumsythief »

Hi guys, I'm just wondering what is your favorite cover song. Mine is definitely Nirvana "The Man Who Sold The World", a David Bowie cover. The guitars in that song is just amazing. Speaking of Nirvana, I really wanna OLP perform a Nirvana song. I dunno which song tho.

Me First and the Gimme Gimme's .. any song they cover (which is all of their songs since that's all they do) kick ass ..

I also like New Found Glory's cover of My Heart Will Go On .. and an amazing song is OLP's cover of Imagine :love:

I really loved the Deftones covering Say It Ain't So.

Nothing compares to Jerry Cantrell's cover of "Dar Side of the Moon" though
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

H2O - Like A Prayer
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Haven't heard of the others, but Teardrop was amazing, that got me into Massive Attack and Portishead, opened a whole new dimension for me.

Also, MGB's Enjoy the Silence.
Al's emails put a smile on my face, even though all they say is "You've got a private message!"
