I REALLY liked Foo Fighters' version of Band on the Run by Wings. But of course, it wasn't released on an album, so it's impossible to find to download on buy. I WANT THAT FUCKING SONG!!! And of course, every Get The Led Out cover of Zep songs. I'm obsessed. ------------- "Yeah? Well if you didn't know I was drunk...you'd just think I was really cool."

actually whisky in the jar is a traditional irish drinking song as far as i know. baby got back is an awesome cover - so much better than the original! Phantom of the Opera - Lacrimosa. this cover kicks arse and is actually better than sarah brightman and michael crawford. i don't particularly like michael crawford's voice... its a bit too weak methinks. Lacrimosa made a killer cover! oh, and Gerard Butler's got a much nicer voice and i adore the version of the musical-movie with gerard butler as the phantom ^_^ [drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!] ------------- Perplexing people since 1986 |

OH YEAH! Almost forgot. I got to see Coheed and Cambria cover Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper' live...with Claudio Sanchez playing the solo with his guitar behind his head. Fucking amazing. And I must say, Travis sounds an awful lot like Bruce Dickinson when he sings!!! ------------- "Yeah? Well if you didn't know I was drunk...you'd just think I was really cool."

Ryan Adams' version of "Wonderwall" is infinitely better than Oasis'.. The Smiths are my favorite band and usually I'm picky about covers, so here are some I thought were pretty sick: Parenthetical Girls - Handsome Devil VV Brown - This Charming Man and this: Death Cab's cover of "This Charming Man" sucks, and is furthermore useless ahaha P: and I am saying that as a fan of both bands! |

As an enormous Marilyn Manson fan, I thoroughly enjoy his Sweet Dreams, though his version of Rock & Roll N*gger is excellent, as well. I like Evergreen Terrace's version of Mad World. I also Trent Reznor's cover of Dead Souls by Joy Division. Me First & the Gimme Gimmes are awesome with covers. Check out their covers of The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel, and their cover of Goodbye Earl by The Dixie Chicks. Johnny Cash covered Hurt rather nicely. I honestly like Fall Out Boy, but don't get me ranting on how bad their rendition of Love Will Tear Us Apart is. AFI had a spiffy version of Last Caress by The Misfits. I fucking love so many covers and so many bands. :P "Sweet, lovely death, I am waiting for your breath!" ------------- I'm ill, ahh. |
