LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great" Receives a Folk Makeover by the Toadies

Sonuva...

It looks like they pulled the audio. Can anyone confirm? Maybe my work computer is blocking it.

 

[Gibsons]

I thought Elton John's version of Pinball Wizard was good. Didn't really change it much, but still good.

Tool's version of You Lied is good. No Quarter already mentioned.

The Pixies cover of Head On was awesome.

Led Zeppelin did a lot of great covers, they just didn't credit the original. 😛

It was re-released in 2000, with different artwork, designed by Adam Jones of Tool.

Opeth did a nice cover of Iron Maiden.

I always liked Metallica's "Turn the Page"

"Whiskey in the Jar" was pretty good too.

 

[Perknose]

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash (originally Nine Inch Nails) comes to mind.

^^^ Might be the best cover ever! :thumbsup:

I would add Hendrix's cover of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower.

Hendrix

Dylan

Lol, I actually agree, but Hendrix made his cover a great song in its own right, too.

[BrokenVisage]

Van Halen pretty much nailed Pretty Woman, You Really Got Me, and Dance the Night Away among others. Jackson Browne's Stay was also good. And Rod Steward did a good cover of Downtown Train.
