What are some of your favorite covers?

These are some of mine.

OLP - Imagine

i love olp's cover of eternal life, but when it comes too a cover that has kicked my ass i'd have to go with this awesome local band 'portal' here in edmonton who once did a cover of aenema by tool. they pulled it off basically perfectly and effortlessly, anyone who can do that not only kicks my ass but owns my ass.

As for covers and local acts, if you ever see some guy with an acoustic guitar who opens for other acts in the Seattle area, and he says he's going to cover "Are You Sad?", <i>run for the hills</i> before that song is ruined forever for you.

Alkaline Trio - Exploding Boy (originally by The Cure)

Ahhh it's late or else I would think of more.

i'll keep that in mind, I don't think I could live if i were to hear a basterdized version of that song.

wow i didn't know chantal covered that, i'll have to check it out.

hmmm i hate to rant about IME but they do a good version of U2- Exit

not to mention olp does almost every song very well (except when they butcher imagine on the peace soundtrack)

of and Phish does a really good cover of Babylon, like really really good

^ I thought you would have mentioned ime's version of 46&2.

hmmmm normally tori amos's version of teenspirit would be to chickish for me but i'm actually digging it, in a slow depression way, but Cobain was a tortured soul/genius

New Found Glory - Glory of Love

I think Johnny Cash's "Hurt" goes without saying.

agreed.

Ben Folds - In Between Days

Its also a Cure cover

yeah all of ime's cover are great, they do some good hendrix covers too, mainly cause jag's gopt more skill then most bands put together these days

I seem to like Imagine - OLP

Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again (originally by the Smiths)

OLP- Eternal Life (Buckley), Needle and the Damage Done (Young), Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles), and All I Want is You (U2). I really like the version of Imagine played in the cross-canada club tour (2000), but it definitely doesn't kick my ass on the war child cd...

other cool covers- boys of summer (ataris), leavin on a jet plane and wild horses (chantal k)... and for some reason i really like everclears version of brown eyed girl
