ITT: Good cover songs.

[Houdini]

The best cover song EVER is:

"You Keep Me Hangin' On" - Kim Wilde

OH YEAH. Especially when you compare it to the original.

BARF BARF BARF

NO U NO U NO U

Dare I ask who originally performed the song?

The Supremes or something like that.

How dare she disgrace Motown so?

[Morning_Glory]

Oasis

GODDAMNIT, HAVE YOU EVER MADE A POST THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH OASIS

Actually yes, yes I have. I was merely mentioning the cover due to the fact that all of the tracks from the tribute album has been released and considering this is a thread about cover songs I found it appropraite to post it here.

[The artist formally known]

BARF BARF BARF


Primus did a much better cover of Master of Puppets.

NOT BARF NOT BARF NOT BARF

Whoever covered that Dio song did the best they could and didn't ruin it too much. Forgot who. Any cover of a Blue Oyster Cult song turns out great most of the time, Jimmy Hendrix did a great All Along the Watchtower which is probably more popular or well known with people then the real song, which I still love.

Any song Opeth covered was turned into instant gold overnight.

Graveworm's Losing my Religon cover, REM is the original artist
The many The Sound of Silence covers are pretty funny to hear but never are better or even worth listening to
Norther's Smash cover is actually really really well done.

[Houdini]

Any song Opeth covered was turned into instant gold overnight.

Opeth does covers?

Killswitch Engage.
I happen to think they did a damn good job, but that's just me.

All Along the Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience 

[Houdini]

All Along the Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience 

Dylan covers, eh? I've found Rage Against the Machine's cover of Maggie's Farm to be better than All Along the Watchtower.

I will kill anyone who brings up Guns n' Roses' cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

[Samus Aran]

I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY BOC COVERS, BUT YOU HAVE ME INTERESTED. ELABORATE.

While not amazing I heard this song before the original:

Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers
