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:

definatley "Man Who Sold The World" and OLP's "Imagine".

Finger Elevens cover of "Walking in My Shoes" is good to.

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

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.

Hell yeah! Definitely!

I didn't even think of that one, but there's no way that can be beat.

Is SUPER GOOD.
