Re: Best/Worst Cover

Great thread - years ago an old bogan mate of mine wanted to compile a lits of pop songs covered by hard rock/metal bands and call it 'Proof' (that metal makes everything better)

Good covers

Something for Kate - Ordinary World
- Harpoon

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Faith No More - Easy
- Take this bottle

Tool - Kashmir

Alexisonfire - Dead Hearts

There would be plenty of bad covers around, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Oh, and I'll join the not a fan of Chisel group, but they've still had some cracking songs - Flame Trees (and the clip) is great, as is Choir Girl & Cheap Wine

Or you could take the Richard Cheese view on life and say that cabaret makes metal better;

Cheap wine and a three day growth.

Three day growth? I'm ready to go already!

No Whitney covering Dolly? Remember everyone is top when they're dead according to the Chasers.

Re: Best/Worst Cover

Couple of Elvis ones for the vault.
Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas
Fine Young Canibals - Suspicous Minds
Queen - Jailhouse Rock
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - In the Ghetto

Actually most of Elvis's hits were originally sang by someone else.

Same theory applies to players and long term injuries.

Re: Best/Worst Cover

That was a Sid Vicious solo effort.

Re: Best/Worst Cover

I love the Rise Against cover of Nervous Breakdown (Black Flag).

Re: Best/Worst Cover

Favourite's -
Gary Moore - Friday on my mind.
Metallica's - Whiskey in the jar
Manfred Man - Blinded by the light
Jeff Buckley or KD Lang - Hallelujah
Eric Clapton - I shot the Sheriff
Faith No More - Easy
Michael Bolton - Dock of the Bay
Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi
Chocolate Starfish - Your so vain
For a bit of fun- Ralph Harris - Stairway to Heaven

Worst -
Jose Feliciano - Light my fire
Britney Spears - Satisfaction
ToTo - Stairway to Heaven
Hilary Duff - My Generation
Madonna - American Pie
Britney Spears - Satisfaction

Seems to be a theme with Pop Princesses covering classic that just makes me cringe.

I loved Jose Feliciano's version of Light My Fire. Also love his rendition of California Dreamin'.
Hendrix's version of Like a Rolling Stone at the Monterey Pop Festival was another exceptional cover.

Re: Best/Worst Cover

The Screaming Jets bastardisation of Boys Next Door 'Shivers' was a criminal act.

Did you hear the version of 'Shivers' that was released last year by Divine Fits (the side project of Britt Daniel from Spoon)? Much better rendition that the one that was massacred by The Screaming Jets:
