Best/worst cover song

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Local band Ekoostik Hookah did a smokin cover of Blue Sky...

Best Ever: Jose Feliciano's cover of The Door's "Light My Fire".

Very sexy version!

 

[BayBuck]

So you were just watching the video to glimpse some pussy?

Nice save.

Oh, and one more deserving of mention is Mountain Jam by the Allman Brothers Band, granted their version has no lyrics. If you ever heard the original, 'There is a Mountain' by Donovan, you'll laugh your ass off when comparing it to the behemoth jam the Allman's turned it into.

This reminds me of another worst nominee: "Freebird/Baby I Love Your Way Medley" by Will to Power (the Big Mountain version is a weak cover too).

She was wearing a men's suit in that video . . . I said as I turned in my man card . . .

 

[Dryden]

Cake - I Will Survive
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Johnny Cash - a ton of his covers, but I particularly like One (U2) and Further On Up the Road (Springsteen)

worst:

Faith - Limp Bizkit

All valid choices. If a person doesn't get chills from Buckley's rendition of Hallelujah, then they simply don't have a pulse. My favorite Cash covers are NIN's Hurt and Soundgarden's Rusty Cage.

Tell Steve and Cliff I say Hi.

Tell Steve and Cliff I say Hi.

You sure a friendly 'hello' from the Buttocks won't get me thrown out?

 

[Folanator]

That Phil Collins cover is definitely awful -- "Land of Confusion"?

Bingo. PUKE.

Some great ones:

-Deep Purple, "Hush" (Joe South)

Good call. Loved that song.

-Nirvana, "The Man Who Sold the World" (Bowie)

Yup, excellent.

Wait... are you talking about farting?

OT thay are going to be at a small bar here in town next week. Worth a ticket?

I don't claim to know alot about covers, but here are a few that I know of and enjoy:

The Ataris "The Boys Of Summer"
Wyclef Jean "No Woman No Cry"
Foo Fighters "Darling Nikki"
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros "Redemption Song"
Like someone already mentioned, anything Johnny Cash has covered is good, but in particular "Hurt" and "Personal Jesus"
Gnarls Barkely "Gone Daddy Gone"
Pearl Jam "Teenage Wasteland"

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

That reminds me... Foo Fighters did a great "Baker Street" too.

Just thought of that one too, I've got that on the Japanese My Hero EP.

Also liked Faith No More's Easy.
