Best/favourite cover songs

[Dis]

I know, we've done these threads before. But I just recently heard a few new cover songs, which I think are just awesome. They are my favourite cover songs. I keep listening to them over and over.

Sodom- Surfin' Bird. Originally a 60's oldies tune I believe. Put to a good thrash metal style by Sodom- a band from Germany.

Tori Amos- Raining Blood. A cover song of a song by Slayer- an american thrash metal band. Although her song can't be considered thrash metal. But with that really deep synth bass line, it's a fairly heavy and dark song.

list your favourite cover songs.

[Combat Ingrid]

Dokaka - "Angel of Death"

[Japher]

Phish - Gin and Juice

[duke o' york]

The Beatles - The Sheikh of Araby

[Max Webster]

I like Pantera's version of Cat Scratch Fever.

Stevie Ray Vaughans version of Little wing is a favourite of mine as well.

[Richelieu]

Again: Van Halen - You really got me.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Hells Bells (Dandy Warhols)
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy (Revolting Cocks)

[Tuberski]

Guns and Roses - Live and Let Die.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

Eric Clapton - Stormy Monday (T-Bone Walker)

[Pekka]

I like Red Hot Chilipeppers version of Fire. By Jimi Hendrix.

[Tuberski]

Good call Pekka.

ACK!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Soooooo many to chose from, but...

Probably Sonic Youth's cover of the Carpenters' "Superstar"

Though I did just hear a terrific version of "Hotel California" done by Bela Fleck and Mark Knopfler. Turns out "Hotel California" isn't the worst song ever recorded; it just needs to be played on the banjo. Who knew?

Turns out "Hotel California" isn't the worst song ever recorded;

Go kill yourself now.

Because I think The Eagles' version is the worst song ever recorded, or because I believe it can be improved upon with the proper banjo arrangement?

[Kuciwalker]

The former.
