Your favorite cover songs

RUFIO-LIKE A PRAYER (MADONNA)
STARTING LINE-NOTHINGS GONNA STOP US NOW (STARSHIP)
METALLICA-WHISKEY IN THE JAR (THIN LIZZY)GOLDFINGER-99 RED BALLOONS (NENA)

Agreed.....that whole Goldfinger album is damn good, I especially like the Cure cover on there

The entire "Punk Goes Metal" CD. Awesome!

I love covers. I'd almost rather listen to covers some days.

• Entombed: God of Thunder


• Six Feet Under (who has a whole album of covers): California Uber Alles


• World of Skin: I Wanna Be Your Dog (I once had a demo tape from Doomwatch, who also did an awesome cover of this tune)


• Any cover of "Gloomy Sunday" (Gitane Demone, Sinead O'Connor, Smithereens, Diamanda Galas, etc)


• Gus: Don't Fear the Reaper ("Scream" soundtrack)


• Dinosaur Jr: Just Like Heaven


• Husker Du: Eight Miles High, Love is All Around


• Some guy who opened for either Tori Amos (I think): Stairway to Freebird (Freebird lyrics/Stairway tune)


• Eve6: I Touch Myself


• (and oh yeah) Coil: Tainted Love

I personally like:

Snake River Conspiracy - Lovesong (The Cure)
Frente! - Bizarre Love Triangle (New Order)
Revolting Cocks - Do You Think I'm Sexy (Rod Stewart)
The Sundays - Wild Horses (The Rolling Stones)
Nine Inch Nails - Suck (Pigface) *although Trent was a member of Pigface*

Johnny Cash doing NIN's...."Hurt" stunning

Shit I forgot anything by "Apocalypitca"

Jimi Hendrix - all along the watchtower
much better than the Bob Dylan original

oh and as for worst cover (and please dont ask how i know this)
WInger doing Purple Haze

has anyone seen the video for that? it's playing constantly on this little tv at work and it is the most depressing goddamn thing i have ever seen. worth seeing once for the creep out factor, though.
