Spin off topic: best cover versions

Dont be at yourself

Well, do you think anybody has managed to improve on the original version of a song? or come close?

In my opinion, Blue Monday by Orgy was an improvement and Metallica managed a decent effort of Whisky in the Jar

Bard

been there...

And generaly anything by Metallica.

Well, i hate the original version of Under the Bridge, so i think even the All Saints version is an improvement. i know im the only person in the known universe above the age of 14 that thinks this though

MegaDeths version of Paranoid ain't half bad.

Pearl Jams version of sitting on the dock of the bay is good too.

you know Steppenwolf, "Magic Carpet Ride"...
who was it again that done the cover for Pulp Fiction?
I cant think of the name right now, but I reckon i am the only person in the world to think that the cover was really really good

Dustaz

IMHO the chillis are THE most overrated band in the world. I havent liked anything theyve done since that cover of Higher Ground (which isnt as good as the Stevie Wonder version mind).
Im not an All Saints fan, but i just prefer the version. I also know this opinion inspires incredulous reactions, i dont air it often

Xithus

the covers on nirvana unplugged improve upon there originals..

well they do..

Incidently there has been some pretty cool 'Punk' covers of really lame songs like

MxPx - Take on me
Weezer - Uptown Girl
Goldfinger - Rio

I wouldn't say they were the best covers of all time though, me thinks that Gomez did a great cover of 'Getting Better' by The Beatles, classic song.
