Top Five Cover Tunes

[Ella]

I am firmly of the opinion that if another band's song is covered, something new and a bit different should be brought to it. With that in mind, here are my Top 5 Fave Cover Tunes du jour....

1. Tenacious D - Keep On Lovin' You
2. Foo Fighters - Have A Cigar
3. Veruca Salt - My Sharona
4. Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit
5. Cake - I Will Survive

Anyone else?? B)

[Billy_Dean]

I just love covers, probly cos i had so many mates in cover bands.


I just downloaded four versions of Whiskey in the Jar. Metallica wins that one.

I'll have to think hard now .... I'll be back ....

:blink: That song by Nirvana sux and I cant even imagine how it sounds if Tori Amos sings it. Maybe ill download it some time.

[Ella]

She brings an amazing quality to it. She told me in an interview (not wanting to drop names but bugger it&#33;) that Kurt used to listen to it while he made spaghetti. Go figure.
