Best Cover Song You've Heard

Okay, so it's not like it hasn't been done before, but I think this is wonderful-

Tainted Love - My Brightest Diamond

Don't Do It - The Band
Like a Rolling Stone - Jimi Hendrix
Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds
Back Door Man - The Doors

Probably one of those.

Song to the siren-this mortal coil (tim buckley)
black diamond-the replacements (kiss)
love will tear us apart (jarboe version)-swans (joy division)
There is another song on the tip of my tongue....oh well.

Breed 77 - Zombie

white zombie children of the grave

The only appropriate answer is This Mortal Coil's "Song To The Siren"

Deftones - No Ordinary Love (Sade)

Pop/Rock covers:
Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)
Gary Jules - Mad World (Tears for Fears)
HIM - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Somewhere over the Rainbow (Harold Arlen/Judy Garland)
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)

Metal covers:

Steve Overlander - Flight of Icarus (Iron Maiden)
Farmer Boys feat. Anneke van Giersbergen - Never Let Me Down Again (Depeche Mode)


...just to name a few...

Johnny Cash- Hurt

I'd probably go with Rise Against's cover of Journey's "Any Way You Want It" or Bear McCreary's cover of Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" from Battlestar Galactica

Lately it has to be Between the Buried and Me's cover of "Bicycle Race" by Queen

NOFX - Last Caress
NOFX - Vincent
Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
Mark Ronson - Toxic
No Use For a Name - Beth (secret track on Making Friends)

Good point. I just always consider Hendrix's version to be the best, but you're right Dylan was the original
