Favorite Cover Songs

I got two songs that I think were better covered than the original, and whats odd is they are songs by my favorite two all time bands but these covers really rock.

Check these out if your interested:

"No Quarter" - Tool >>>> Absolutely the best.

"Astronomy" - Metallica

And honorable mention "Turn the Page" - Metallica.


Anyone got any good covers?

all along the watchtower - hendrix.
way better than the original.

nobody prolly know the first one but...

Talib Kweli's remake of Nina Simone's "4 women"

Fugees remake of Roberta Flacks "Killing me softly"

of course--Limp Biskits remake of George Micheal's--"Faith"

Die Die Die My Darling - Metallica
Astronmy - Metallica
Whiskey In The Jar - Metallica

my favorite covers would be when my band covered (or...WILL cover..) What a Wonderful World by Sam Cooke, all of Weird Al's covers, and the armageddon song (Dont Want to Miss a Thing?) covered by new Found Glory. NFG's cover CD is probably the only respectable CD that band has hahahhaha.

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (Leonard Cohen cover)

Just because I recently watched a post on here which featured Rufus Wainright covering the song.

Tool's No Quarter
Many Many Many covers done by Tori Amos -Whole Lotta Love, House of the Rising Sun, A Case of You... ok I'm done being a totaly woman, cuz I could go on for a while
oh Mr. Cash's cover of Personal Jesus is good stuff.

dude, the apocolyptica covers...sure the riffs and such are good but the voice used..just ruins it, you dont use that singing style with that stylw of rock...i wanted to scream listening to that.

anyways mine is

pantera - electric funeral(black sabbath song)
primus with ozzy - NID(again black sabbath)

KMFDM->Mysterious Ways(U2)
Goldfinger->Love Song(Cure)

In reverse:
Eurythmics(Sweet Dreams) ->later covered by Marlyn Manson(good too)
Blue Oyster Cult(Don't Fear the Reaper)->later covered by Apollo440(so-so)

Wild Horses cover by U2 is decent.
