The good, bad, obscure, whatever...discuss.

I dig the covers of "It Ain't Me Babe" done by both Johnny Cash and New Found Glory. (orginally by Bob Dylan)
edit: Oh, and I'm not normally big into Punk, but there is a CD called "Pop goes Punk" that has a bunch of well... pop songs covered by punk bands. It's a fun listen.

I don't care for most country music, but Brooks and Dunn's cover of "My Maria"(BW Stevenson), is awesome.
Paul Rodgers' ( Free, Bad Company, the Firm) acoustic version of "Feel Like Makin' Love" is great.

Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson is much better than the original.

Call me gay, but I'll have to disagree there.
Cover Songs - fustercluck - 10-01-2008
I love how many times Gloria has been covered. Doors and Tom Petty are standouts.
I have a ZZTop cover of Mustang Sally that's magical
RUSH doing The Seeker was good too!
Cover Songs - Rock Monster - 10-01-2008
Come together - Beatles = OK; Aerosmith = awesome
American Pie - Don McLean = best song ever; Madonna = she should be shot for trying, and hanged for failing.
Cover Songs - Rock Monster - 10-01-2008
Behind Blue Eyes by Staind and Fred Durst was better than the original too.
Cover Songs - fustercluck - 10-01-2008
Was is Fred Durst who did Wish You Were Hear for the 9/11 concert?

You have to check out the War Machine remake by Six Feet Under. It starts out OK but when he sings I can't help but laugh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn36xjgKRhg

Ready to throw me under the bus?....
I can't stand metallica. All of their covers turn the original song to complete S..... and I'm not just trying to pick a fight. They're garbage. Each one of their albums has gradually gotten more and more produced and puss.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do all punk covers...if anything they're fun to listen to.

What version was recently on Name That Tune?
Cover Songs - dingdongyo - 10-06-2008
i've never heard of these guys before. found them on youtube. i guess all they play is bluegrass covers of hit songs. i heard their version of "roses" (outkast) and thought it was good in a goofy way. then i watched this and really liked it.

A Couple great covers:
No More Mr. Nice Guy- Megadeth

both of those skip entire verses of the song.

Joe Cocker has done some excellent covers including "A Little Help From My Friends".
