        In honor of the dearly departed:

        Billy Jean (Chris Cornell covering MJ):



        Smooth Criminal (Alien Ant Farm covering MJ):



        Beat It (Raintime covering MJ):





        (From googling evidently Fall Out Boy did a few MJ covers as well, but onaccounta it's FOB they surely sucked.)
        Unbelievable!

                MANY Blues songs. Crossroads being a good example. Or Cross Roads, as it was originally.
                Patti Smith owns them both.



                While we're at it, her cover of Hendrix', "Hey Joe."

                Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                      This is absolute nonsense.

                      He was perfectly capable of nicking stuff off The Beatles, too.

                        Siouxsie doing two Beatle songs. No way someone will be able to do them better than the masters themselves, but it's a good try :b

                              Good call on the Siouxsie ones, Hueij. I was going to mention Helter Skelter but I couldn't remember how to spell Siouxsie.

                              Not sure about the Breeders one though. Dodgy song, dodgy cover imo.

                                One of my fave covers of all time. I've seen these guys live and they are a blast. Led Zep + Elvis, with a reggae backbeat...
