Ben Folds did an excellent cover of that cure song I can't for the life of me remember the name of.

 

Any help?

Most of the Nouvelle Vague covers

bauhaus - ziggy stardust

dread zepplin - all their covers were class

dinosaur jr - just like heaven

christopher o'reily's radiohead covers

Bauhaus' Ziggy is more of an homage than a cover. It's identical.

Do you ever look back and hate yourself? :razz:

 

Muse, Green Day or both?

 

No pressure.

 

;)

 

To be fair I will love Green Day till I die.

All along the Watchtower = Dave Matthews Band, the live in Central Park version is immense

 

There's a crackin version of Paradise City featuring Fergy and Cypress Hill on Slash's new solo Album (on the Aussie or Canadian Versions) not on UK version I don't think, which is a pisser !!!!!

I was led to believe that it was one of the bonus tracks on the Classic Rock version - it's not :razz: Shame really as Fergie's track on the album is canny.

 

Oasis' version of My Generation was good although Liam would struggle with the 3rd key change when doing it live and their cover of Slade's - Cum feel the noise was also good. Noel did an acoustic version of You've got to hide your love away which was OK IIRC.

 

As previously mentioned, Hendrix coving All Along the Watchtower is better than the original, as is Cocker's cover of A little help from my friends.

 

Kula Shaker did a mint cover of Hush by Deep Purple. They really made it their own.

Embrace doing D-12's How Come? on the live lounge was excellent.

 

 

Never heard that before. Very good!

It's impressive if you listen to the rap version first and then their cover. They've completely re-worked it and made something better than the original.

Not heard that, but sounds like what Ben Folds does with Bitches Ain't Shit.....or Ben Kweller does with Ice Ice Baby.
