Yes, Gloria, Lola... those were great
I'd like to drop more names of good covers
Femme Fatale, by Big Star
Keep Your Big Mouth Shut and Cara-Lin, by thee Headcoatees
Wait a Minute, the Blues Explosion covering Pussy Galore

Lady Godiva's Operation, reshaped by Fatima Mansions is either murder or great rewriting (I'd favour the latter)

the t.a.t.u girls covered "how soon is now" from the smiths..
pretty bad..

when popsters attempt to emulate something decent, they usually end up screwing it badly..

Yeah my little sister was listening to that once and I was like "what the fuck?" She said "I love this song" it's the best on the album......well duh.

Hey! I thought that was damn good!

Hey! I found the Landslide cover to be really good!

The Germs' cover of Chuck Berry's "Round and round" . I personally like it and think its a fun twist of the song, but I'm expecting other people to disagree with me here.

Yes they did. I heard it and after hearing it......I want to kill Fall Out Boy.

God damn, they butchered the chorus with the lead singers super constipated/being raped up the ass by an elephant vocal style

The Blood Brothers cover of Under Pressure makes me want to kill myself.

I hate the Rolling Stones cover of King Bee


To the list of good covers, I'd like to add
Nick Cave and Lydia Lunch- Some Velvet Morning
The Cramps- Fever
Peter Murphy- Final Solution
My Bloody Valentine- Map Ref. 41 N 93 W

the muddy waters original of KING BEE rules!


so does champagne and reefer

Ditto.

pretty much everytime david bowie atempts a cover he ends up gutting it until the pancreas is dry

How soon we forget:

Limp Bizket-Faith

And though his version of "Sweet Dreams" wasn't so bad Marilyn Manson's verison of "Tainted Love" was uncalled for.

I like his cover of Cactus

korn-covering mettalica the one
p.s. i hate them both
