Best cover songs...

[Cerb]

channel-surfing, I happened upon a marylin manson video. Not a fan, but I recognized the song, so had to sit and watch it until I identified it (tainted love). So that got me thinking...what are the best covers around?

So, mine:
Queensryche - Scarborough Fair
G&R - Cats in the Cradle
Manfredd Mann - Blinded by the Light
Metallica - Tuesday's Gone

Gin & Juice - Gords

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watch Tower

I love the Vibrators version of Come As You Are. I also love the Lazlo Bane version of Overkill.

I loved Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower, his cover of Hey Joe was great too 🙂

Sonic Youth - Superstar (as in the Carpenters). If you've never heard it, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!

Perfect modern-day take on a 70's song of innocence 🙂

Queensryche's cover of Scarborough Fair is great, I've always wanted to hear that one live. I would also vote for Orgy's cover of Blue Monday, Psychic TV's cover of Good Vibrations, and Electric Hellfire Club's cover of Calling Dr. Love.

Any of Metallica's covers are great. I heard they did a live cover of Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle at a show a few years back. I wish someone somewhere had a copy of it.

Yeah, I'm not that excited by too many bands that came out since the 70's, but Goldfinger is pretty good, or at least the covers they do are pretty cool.
Goldfinger - Is She Really Going Out With Him (Joe Jackson)
