Cover songs

Hi, fellas :)

I don't know about you, but I relly enjoy listening to good songs covered by someone, and sometimes the second version is better than the previous. I do have quite a few of them, but I'm looking for more. Could you add to my list what you think is a worthy effort? (please, no rap or dance versions:D ).

My list (some of it):

Tori Amos - Smells Like teen Spirit (highly recommended)
Radiohead - Sunday Bloody Sunday
The Bates - Billie Jean
Sonata Arctica - Still Loving You (blows you away!)
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams
Gun - Word Up
Travis - Hit Me One More Time (Britney acoustic cover)
HIM - Wicked Game

I'm sure there's more, so please add to the list.

Alien Ant Farms-Annie(I think thats the name of the song...the old Michael Jackson song):)

MxPx - Summer of '69
Limp Bizkit - Faith
Marylin Manson - Sweet Dreams


whoa...I look like a goth or something here...

Oh, you already have Sweet Dreams there...oh well. It's one of the few covers that's much better than the original

Worst cover...dopey cow who bastardized "Pink Cadillac"by Bruce Springsteen:mad:who was it?..she took it waaaay up the charts....:rolleyes: silly me........

Actually, It was Fear Factory w/ Gary newman that Covered "Cars" :)

I usually don't like cover songs, they aren't very original. And most of them are worse than the first.

Pearl Jam....I got you

i think its pennywise.....but look for stand by me covers.....

dynamite hack-boyz in tha hood=worst cover ever!!
