Best covers you've ever heard?

[The Monkey]

Though it'd be nice with a thread like this too.

[soulslicer]

Would you agree with me if I said that Limbizkit's version of Behind Blue Eyes is better? Probably not since you are a huge fan of "The Who." But it's definitely one of the more decent covers of a famous song out there.

I remember this Johnny Cash cover of this NIN song was pretty good, "Hurt" I think.
EDIT: Sevendust did a fantastic cover of this song, in their own way.

Wut?

I like them a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a "huge fan", where did you get that from? But yeah, Who's version kicks ass.

Agreed.

[Qonfused]

Johnny's version was quite good.

[TheAntipop]

I'm quite fond of Alkaline Trio's cover of Rooftops by Hot Water Music. I can't think of much else right now, which is odd. :/

[Vegeta897]

I quite like Snowblind covered by SoaD.

[staticprimer]

Gary Jules's version of Tears for Fears' Mad World is, of course, fantastic. Another cover I really like is Nonpoint's cover of In the Air Tonight.

[Vegeta897]

Also 'Turning Japanese' covered by Incubus.

'Come to Daddy' covered by The Dilliginger Escape Plan is also decent, if a bit muddy though.

Oh and obviously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzX4YPRkhk0

FFS I can't just link to a youtube video, even if I embed the link into a word? That's so stupid. I don't want to go looking like a huge pretentious cock by taking up all this space with what is supposed to be a subtle link.

Damn you Munro.

[Viperidae]

You cock. Ver10.

[Slacker]

Meat Puppets cover of Everybody Hurts is amazing

And I love the Mars Volta's cover of "Birthday" by the Sugarcubes and "Back Up Against the Wall" by the Circle Jerks.

[Polaris]

Foo Fighters - Have a Cigar (Pink Floyd)

U2 - Dancing Queen (ABBA)

One of my favorite Disturbed songs is a cover of Sevendust's Black:

I've got a copy from a different concert that's much better quality, but you get the idea:

Went to a John Mayer show a few nights ago (STFU, he's a great guitarist, the tickets were free, and I use his music to get wimmenz) and he did an astonishingly good cover of the Clapton version of Crossroads. Astonishingly good.
