Amazing cover

Tori Amos - Do It Again (Steely Dan cover)

This song is so amazing ! I love the beat and the piano ! My favorite song of Tori, though it's not one of her ''real'' song.

Ed Kuepper - Highway To Hell (Originally by AC/DC)
I read a review of an AC/DC tribute album on Amazon, and the person reviewing it wrote of the Ed Kuepper cover "DUDE DON'T COVER AC/DC SONGS WITH AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND A TECHNO BEAT. AWFUL 0/5" which made me laugh.

Good Titanium exposé cover: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVNzL3dcWvY

Jeanne Cherhal - Une petite larme m'a trahi (Claude François)

I hate her (and Claude François...) but that cover's great.

Einstuerzende Neubauten - Sand, Morning Dew

Heres a couple of Neil Young songs I think is done really well;
Down by the river by Low & the Dirty Three (from in the fishtank)
Cortez the killer by Built to Spill (from the Live album)

the whole of Jeff Buckley Sin-e live album. especially Dylans If You See Her, Say Hello, in particular.

By the same guy on youtube:
Brave men run
Pacific coast highway

MBV - We Have All The Time In The World
Rowland S Howard and Lydia Lunch - Some Velvet Morning
Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Sonic Youth - Hotwire My Heart

and Sonic Youth - I'm not there (Bob Dylan)

http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=CX7xddWLyYI

i love this one too.

:confused:

if the quality weren't so shit, it'd probably be okay.

has anyone heard the cover record of napalm death's 'you suffer' that kylie minoise put out last year? its a 60 minute harrowing free harsh noise version of a 2 second song, and it really is up there with some of the heaviest noise ive ever heard. lea cummings is prolly the only noise artist who lives up to what he says. all these noise dudes think theyre so fucking hard with thier quotes in the webzines about "aurally skullfucking you while clobbering your head in with a small sledgehammer while you graciously accept the nihilistic beatdown of pure sound". its like, ok dude, its just music, meanwhile theres kids in iraq with bullets whizzing past thier heads, ok noise dudes, youre shit AINT THAT HARD. but anyways, kylie minoise is some of the only noise ive ever heard where i really feel physically assaulted by the music. amazing stuff. i gota see him live.

man, i hate this ultra "ohh look, i have a bondage picture on the cover of my tape and it's called 'sodomizing the pope', ain't i offensive?" shit some noise people do. and besides, 99% of them sound exactly alike, with nothing new to add and 99.99% of them aren't experimental at all.

anyhoo, that 1% is totally worth digging for.

and you reminded me of a good cover (in case i haven't posted it before):

anal cunt - unbelievable (emf or whatever they were called).

Creedence Clearwater Revival - I put a spell on you (Scramin' Jay Hawkins)

I saw a good cover of Robert's Johnson's "If I had Possession of Judgment Day" on a blues documentary.

The Cramps - Fever
Elf Power - Noble Experiment
Naked Raygun - Suspect Device
The Fall - Black Monk Theme
Bad Religion - Riding the Storm Out
Bad Religion - We're a Happy Family

Ween - LMLYP is partially a Prince cover, but it's not technically a cover


I just downloaded that. It's good. I like their cover of 311. It's funny, at least. I don't know which song it is..it sounds familiar.

A*C - 311 Sucks

both correct answers.

i agree

The Faces' version of Wicked Messenger pretty much dominates the original (which is no slouch itself)
The Faces are Rod Stewart's pre-sucking band.

Blue Cheer's version of Summertime Blues gets the song's words across with a far greater sense of genuineness and urgency than any other version of the song I've ever heard. It really just sounds like a bunch of young deliquents clamoring for a break.

swing kids- warsaw

The cover of Madonna's 'Beautiful Stranger' by The Love Is So Fast is bonkers. You would expect it to be 'cause they had the lady in Los Llamarada in the band.

I'd never heard SY's version until a few weeks ago. Love it.

Sex Pistols, 'Don't Give me no Lip (Child)'. Something brilliant in knowing that the one song in which the pistols made sense musically came from such an unlikely beginning.

Hooray ^^^^

Actually Bits + Pieces by U.S. Girls has to be one of THE best covers ever......

Good call. I like her version of 'Days' too.

I like Pink Reason's cover of 'Frolicked Walk Through Autumnal Bliss' by Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones, then again I've never heard the original.

Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones' cover of Pink Reason's 'By A Thread' is pretty mighty too.

Ladyhawke renders it as a driving dirge, while Lily Allen does it in best smacked out holiday fashion. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RUIN THIS SONG.

And a better version of what was always going to be a shit song

fuck lily allen and her pseudo singing accent.. fuck her all to wherever...

and fuck womanizer..it is the worst song ever recorded inthe history of the world ever! absolute twaddling rubbish........ i dare you to listen to womanizer (regardless who sings it) in a darkened sealed room at full volume and not throw up chunks of pulsing bile from your gut. terrible song!
