Best/worst cover song

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

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

Been a while since I've seen em, but yeah, Id say give em a shot. I suspect you'll like them.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Not really a favorite, but Limp Bizkit's "Faith" always makes me do the "air head bang" thing.

worst:

Faith - Limp Bizkit

Flip-flopper.

Thump's remake of The Search Function was pretty great. :p

 

[NFBuck]

Worst...
- Two of those "emo" band singers recently did a cover of Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure" that pissed me off to no end.
- Madonna's "American Pie" cover as mentioned earlier was just awful.

Best...
- Johnny Cash's "Hurt"
- Nirvana doing "The Man Who Sold the World" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
- Pearl Jam's live covers of "Baba O'Riley" and "Keep on Rockin in the Free World" are awesome.
- Sublime's version of "Scarlet Begonias"

[BayBuck]

Best: Third World's "Now That We Found Love" (O'Jays)

Worst: Heavy D's "Now That We Found Love"

 

[buckeyefool]

Hurt by cash is a great one as is I will survive by cake.

There have been some bad ones.......maybe Sheryl Crows...sweet child of mine could be one of the worst.

 

[Folanator]

I will say that I like Dwight Yoakam's version of the Elvis classic "Suspicious Minds".

Also, I kinda like Tainted Love by Soft Cell in the 80's. Having said that their video of the Song could go in the gayest band thread.

[GoBucks89]

Best: Aerosmith's version of "Train Kept a Rollin'" (Yardbirds original)

Worst: I once heard a Judas Priest cover of "Johnny B. Goode" and it was just awful. However, their cover of "Diamonds And Rust" (Joan Baez original) is a classic.

 

[sears3820]

Best:

Norah Jones & Willie Nelson- Wurlitzer Prize (I don't wanna get over you)
RHCP- Higher Ground
Sublime- Rivers of Babylon
Barrington Levy- Saw Red
Warren Zevon- Back in the High Life Again
The Clash- I Fought the Law
Allman Brothers- Statesboro Blues
Incubus- Hello
Ryan Adams- Lovesick Blues

 

[Jagdaddy]

Best: Aerosmith's version of "Train Kept a Rollin'" (Yardbirds original)

Worst: I once heard a Judas Priest cover of "Johnny B. Goode" and it was just awful. However, their cover of "Diamonds And Rust" (Joan Baez original) is a classic.

The Joan Baez note reminds me that her cover of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band is damn good.

EDIT: Which reminds me of hippie music, which further reminds me that Tesla's cover of "Signs" by the Five Man Electrical Band is also pretty good.

 

[DGADBTWSOM]

Worst: Britany Spears - Satisfaction, Basphemy.

 

[Buckeye86]

I always really liked Rage Against the Machine's cover of Maggie's Farm. The whole Renegades CD is filled with pretty good covers (I think) but that one stands out to me.

And for worst I'll nominate the hack job that Limp Bizkit did to Behind Blue Eyes.
