Thread: Favorite covers/remakes.

  1. #1

    Default Favorite covers/remakes.

    So what are your favorite covers/remakes of songs?

    I love 10,000 Maniacs' cover of Because The Night. The piano is so perfect to suit Natalie Merchant's Voice. Or at least I think it's a cover, I know Bruce Springsteen did this song, but eh...maybe someone will verify.

    And Toby Lightman's acoustic version of Real Love(originally MJB's).

    Metallica did a very nice cover of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" and added a bit more spice to Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey In The Jar" (which was pretty much a cover in itself I guess).
    mxpx did a nice cover of "Fairytale of New York" too.

    Yep, Brucey's song. Not heard that cover, but I'd like too.

    Mine is Higher Ground by the Chili's, although Futureheads cover of Hounds of Love is awesome.

    John Denver remade Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans." I love both versions.

    My favourites at the moment would be Marilyn Manson's covers of Depeche Mode's <i>Personal Jesus</i> and Pink Floyd's <i>Another Brick in the Wall</i>.

    I like Evanescence's cover of Thoughless by Korn, but I haven't heard the orginal so I can't compare.

    KoRn, Metallica's One. Awesome, just needed the gutair solos, since it was for that MTV Metallica thing they probably wouldn't let them do it all, no one else really did any of their longer songs. @_@
    System of a Down, Metro. I haven't heard the original, and I don't even know who it's by.
    Rage Against the Machine, and Soulfy, NWA's smurf the Police. Soulfly says mother smurfer instead of nigger, though. (Implying niggers are mother smurfers, are they? *gasp* probably not) It's kind of off-putting, anyway.

    The song is called How Soon Is Now?. It was covered by some guy (don't know the name) for the opening song on Charmed, and the very original was done by The Smiths.

    I really enjoyed Bjork's cover of "99 Red Love Balloons" and Metallica's cover of "Stairway To Heaven."
