There have been so many cover songs over the years,some good and some not so good.I have picked a few of mine...
UB40 featuring Chrissie Hynde-I Got You Babe(Sonny&Cher)
Limp Bizkit-Faith(George Michael)
Nirvana-The Man Who Sold The World(David Bowie)
Oasis-I Am The Walrus(The Beatles)
Dave Grohl-Tiny Dancer(Elton John)
So what are yours?
One comes in mind right away,
Led Zeppelin has a song called Rock'n'Roll,
Van Halen does justice for it, on theyr gigs, can be found on a live cd too, and in a video,
truly amazing version, no "rape" like Britney Spears on that Joan Jett "I love rock'n'roll" thingie.
She maybe good looking and have some "moves" BUT, pritney just dont rock, simple as that.
I got a huge list here on other covers too as im working on the case, just
started a new band and we do only covers for now... :)
But i think i'll leave for this.

:) Any artist the does Elvis covers.
Guitar Slinger, I too play in a band and have a song list page(not updated recently though :( ), but if you wanna do covers it depends on what type of venue you are likely to play.
Adthomp, the interesting thing about your suggestion,Faith No More,which I think are an excelent band, is the fact that One of their most successful singles was actually a RAPP TRACK!!! :D :D :D
cheers,
Bass.
Now that is ironic,adthomp liking a band who has made a rap track after all the rubbish he put in his topic... :lol: :lol:Quote:

Kittie covering Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell".
Slayer covering Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda Da Vida".

im sure theres more, cant think right now...
There's a great cover of John Lennon's Gimme Some Truth by The Wonder Stuff on some bside. I used to have it and now it's lost and I always wonder if its as good as I remember it being.
I quite like what Stevie Ray Vaughan or Monte Montgomery done with Little Wing.
Most metallica "Garage Inc" songs are good covers.
Jimi Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower, great cover of a Bob Dylan classic. I have thousands
The Tide Is High - Atomic Kitten
I always liked the original version by Blondie, but their version is now the one I prefer! Slushy old fool :P
t.at.u - how soon is now (the smiths)
Best cover song ever IMO, enhanced by their accents. B)
actually prefer Love Spit Love's version a lot better and well we won't talk about Snake River Conspiracy's go at that song...Nothing will beat The Smith's version cause it 's an awsome song..but i reckon it is TATU's best song...
dont they just rub up and down on eachother in a provacative way?
so as to encourage the youth of today?
Nirvana-Lake of Fire(Meat Puppets)
Johnny Cash-Hurt(NIN)Awsome video!
