Even though I found it at #1 on the worst cover songs list I liked Behind Blue Eyes-Limp Bizkit (that's the last LB song I've liked)

Also on a lot of "worst" lists but which I like is Dixie Chicks' version of "Landslide."

Get Down Make Love is good. Trent did a cover of Gary Numan's Metal too, which kicks major ass.

The other that springs to mind is the cover some white boys (Dynamite Hack) did of NWA's Boyz N tha Hood a few years ago. One hit wonder, but very funny.

 

[GoBucks89]

Train Kept a Rollin' - Aerosmith

As a rule, I don't care much for cover tunes, but that one is a classic.

Several have been mentioned that I really like. Metallica's Turn the Page, Disturbed's Land of Confusion.

There was a local band here a few years ago called The Vague. They did a rocked out version of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. It was great.

Am I Evil? and Breadfan also by Metallica

 

[Buckeye86]

Rage Against the Machine's cover of "Maggie's Farm" and the Rage cover OilerBuck mentioned above.

 

[studepaber]

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias
Type O - Summer Breeze
Phish - Gin and Juice
Orgy - Blue Monday

Just off the top of my mind....

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Any Led Zep tune actually written by Willie Dixon
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Stateboro Blues

Hell, any blues tune....

I think Foo Fighter's Baker Street rocks and prefer it to the original.

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias
Type O - Summer Breeze
Phish - Gin and Juice
Orgy - Blue Monday

Just off the top of my mind....

Phish - Gin and Juice isn't actually Phish. Hayseed Dixie does the one popularly thought to be Phish. As a non-fishhead, I don't know if maybe Fish did in fact cover G & J though.
