Jimi Hendrix - Watchtower
Final Fantasy - Peach, Plum, Pear
i wasn't asking
i was stating...
Devo - Satisfaction
Everyone who doesn't agree is a fool.
you
are probably correct.
I third Devo with 'Satisfaction'
that probably is THE greatest cover ever, with Hendrix's '..Watchtower' hot on its heels. Other notables are 'Head on' by Pixies & 'Mr Grieves' by TVOTR.
did pavement ever cover friction by television
that would be incredible...
Johnny Cash
I see a Darkness
The Wedding Present - Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)
secret machines - girl from the north country
^ Correct...
...REM's 'First We Take Manhatten' is pretty cool also...
They are
'Partisan' - Electrelane
'Personal Jesus' - Johnny Cash
'Hurt' - Johnny Cash
'Once More' - Confetti
'Ceremony' - Galaxie 500
'Final Day' - Galaxie 500
'Submisssion' - Galaxie 500
'Strange Fruit' - Robert Wyatt
'Satisfaction' - Devo
Wonderwall innit.
Ryan Adams
or Mike Flowers' Pops?
or Cat Power?
or Radiohead?
or The Beatles?
Ah, ha.
dinosaur jr - just like heaven
wowwww we wowww wowww
wowwww we wowww wowww
duh duh de de duhhhhhhhhh
top 20
the fall - lost in music
tindersticks - here
sonic youth - superstar
lambchop - im glad i never
nouvelle vague - a forest
wayne hudson - under my thumb
pavement - the killing moon
the fall - kimble
nina simone - here comes the sun
pixies - ive been waiting for you
breeders - happiness is a warm gun
siouxsie and the banshees - helter skelter
susanna and the magic orchestra - jolene.
byrds - turn turn turn
jim o'rourke - women of the world.
primal scream - carry me home
massive attack - be thankful for what youve got
flaming lips - suspicious minds
happy mondays - step on
william shatner - common people
It's an obvious call
but Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" has to be up there.
Definately
No...i prefer
Wainwrights...
Cat Power - I Found A Reason
Counting Crows
Big Yellow Taxi
DIE!
.
Sonic Youth - Superstar
probably
Slits - Heard it through the grapevine
OR
Ramones - Baby i love you
..
Dismemberment plan - just a little crush
Michael j Sheehy - Swing low
very nice
I think...
Nirvana would contend with....
Nirvana - Man Who Saved the World
Nirvana - Molly's Lips
Nirvana - Son of a Gun
Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah takes some beating.
What about
bands who make their name by covering a classic and passing it off as their own. Blazin Squad with their version of Crossroads was funny. Ha.
I remember having an argument
with my Beatles-hating friend at school over the Vines and he used 'I'm Only Sleeping' as an example of Craig Nicholls' songwriting skills.
"Mr Blue Sky - The Delgados"
i played this when i was DJing at the purple turtle on friday and it REALLY PISSED OFF a chap DJing later, so he went and played the original at the start of his set.
greatest cover
emanuel: iggy pop's, "search & destroy."
Less Than Jake - Greased Lightning
:D
Not the greatest ever, but still really good
Any cover by Cat Power and
Metric - Don't Think Twice It's Alright
Metric - Between the Bars
Oh! and
Feist - Inside and Out
Faith No More - 'Easy'
Just for Mike Patton's 'eurgh' before the guitar solo
No Ordinary Love
Really love the Deftones version of No Ordinary Love by Sade. its cool.
Panic! At The Disco
doing Karma Police and Tonight Tonight at the gig last night.
Seriously.
Born In The USA
by Ballboy
Subterranean Homesick Blues
by RHCP
Really
Did the RHCP do that?
Dont make me fucking laugh.
i think its quite fantastic
they've made it their own and totally different from the original
Subterranean Homesick Blues
the Bob Dylan version
</subtle Day Today reference>
Polysics - My Sharona
and the Nirvana Vaselines covers are nowhere near as good as the originals
Anything by....
.....The Moog Cookbook
Hendrix
Watchtower gets my vote. Not particularly a big fan of Jimi, but he OWNS this tune.
Corgan's/SP - Landslide. This is the perfect cover song. Billy makes a bold choice and it pays off big time!
Bowie - Pinups, Waterloo Sunset, Kingdom Come, Amsterdam etc. In fact, Bowie covers are always better than the original except his Iggy covers...which invitably are shit for some reason.
Echo & the Bunnymen - Friction, Dylan's Baby Blue (while their versions of Paint It Black and People Are Strange fall short of the originals...and I don't really even like the Doors). Ian's version of Leonard Cohen's Lover Lover Lover is killer, too.
Siouxsie's Helter Skelter is a sonic earthquake!
...
Belly - Trust in me
Jeremy Smoking Jacket - No-one Knows I'm Gone
Men Diamler - John the Revelator
Mike Flower's Pops - Wonderwall
Suitable Case For Treatment - Will the Circle Be Unbroken?
- all totally tranform the originals and improve on them...
Landslide
By the pumpkins. Corgan nails it.
Also, Head-on by the pixies. I like that.
daniel darc - les champs elysees
low - i started a joke
stina nordenstam - purple rain
Tindersticks
"I've Been Loving You Too Long"
I feel for you - Chakka Khan
The Veils - State Trooper
WOW.
