ispep Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 There is a lot of awful covers out there. Just look at http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22123 for some examples. But there are also some great covers out there, sometimes even making songs better.

Chucklemonkey Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 This may not get much traction here, and as much as I like the NIN version this song no longer belongs to them. [ame] [/ame] It has been known to bring a tear to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is truly amazing! It's like hos Trent Reznor himself said "it's like watching your wife in bed with another man and the other man is doing it better". Some other great covers are... [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] Mandy also did damn good covers of "Rock'n Roll Nigga", "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" and "I Put A Spell On You". Amazing how one guy can do some of the best and worst covers out there, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shae-Konnit Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The Hotrod Herman remix of Rob Zombie's Dragula is much better than the original, I'd say. It's on the Matrix soundtrack anyway. Peter Andre and Katie "Jordan" Price singing A Whole New World from Aladdin is also an amazing cover, but for all the wrong reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 [ame] [/ame] Far better than the original in my opinion anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylastnerv Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Check out Powerglove's Saturday Morning Apocalypse . . . lots of great covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 What about this one. There's something a bit wierd about it. [ame] [/ame] There is also this one which really amuses me, however it really isn't very work safe. Some of you might recognise the singer from Shakespeare Sisters.

ispep Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 [ame] [/ame] This doesn't compare to the original, but it is hands down the best cover of Heart Shaped Box you will ever hear. And anything Reel Big Fish covers is awesome. [ame] [/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 How could I forget about my very favourite soul singers version of satisfaction [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYSFEfeC3Ro&feature=related[/ame] I also kinda like this one [ame] [/ame] @ Ispep: I hadn't come across Reel Big Fish before, I like it.
