Q: What is your favorite cover song?

[Zim Hosein]

Inspired by Kev's thread; so what is your favorite cover song?

Currently, mine has to be "Hurt" as sung by Johnny Cash.

 

[Nitemare]

SRV - Little Wing

 

[Spineshank]

Enjoy The Silence which has been done by It Dies Today and Lacuna Coil and probably others but those are my 2 favorites.

 

[shocksyde]

"Closer" by Richard Cheese

 

[Check]

Hurt [NIN cover] done by Sevendust on Southside Double-wide is pertty damn good (better than Johnny Cash's IMO).

I would have to go with Mushroomhead - Crazy [Seal cover] off of XIII for my favorite cover.

 

[mpitts]

"A Hazy Shade of Winter" by The Bangles is up there for me.

 

[Baked]

Hmmm.... Hmmm.... Ok, I got it.

Natalie Merchant - Space Oddity (David Bowie)

For some reason, slow version of the original sounds better in most cases, IMO.

 

[shocksyde]

Another:

"Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine

 

[Scarpozzi]

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! (I had to bring back this classic)

 

[Away]

Great White - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Guns 'N' Roses - Sympathy For The Devil
Megadeth - No More Mister Nice Guy
Metallica - Turn The Page
Voivod - Astronomy Domine

I'll think of more later

 

[Iron Woode]

I have 2:

Cum on Feel the Noize

Knocking on Heaven's Door

 

[adairusmc]

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Metallica - Tuesdays Gone (acoustic)

Johnny Cash - On the Evening Train (though I like pretty much all of his cover songs).

 

[RightIsWrong]

I'll probably be flamed for this but...

Sinead O'Conner - Nothing compares 2 U

Good one.

I am a big fan of covers. I try to collect them, in fact. I can't really name any, though. There are so many that make me smile that it would be insanity to call one out in favor of another.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Shiny Toy Guns - Stripped

 

[Chaotic42]

"I Walk on Gilded Splinters" done by Widespread Panic and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band

Tuesdays Gone, covered by Metallica, originally performed by Lynard Skynard

 

[legoman666]

Smooth Criminal as covered by Alien Ant Farm

Tool doing "No Quarter."

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Clapton did some great covers - Cocaine, After Midnight, and I Shot the Sheriff. I like Clapton's version of Cocaine but prefer JJ Cale's and Marley's version of the others.
