Favorite Cover Songs

[tablist]

After having listened to the cover of Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" from the Spun soundtrack for a few weekes now, I've decided that it's even better than the original. There's a few other covers out there that I've been all over lately, like the metal cover of Maddonna's "Music". I really like Snoops cover of "Paid in Full" as well.

What cover songs are any of you guys big on right now, if any?

 

[Littlest Hobo]

Got To Get You Into My Life - original The Beatles, cover by Earth, Wind & Fire. Possibly the only time a band covered a Beatles song better than the Beatles.

 

[OhNo!]

Hurt-Cash
Highway Patrolman-Cash
Ghost Of Tom Joad-Rage
Sweet Jane-Cowboy Junkies
Used Cars-Ani Difranco

[The Tesseract]

William Orbit's cover of Adagio for strings... or the enter album of classical piece's in modern style for that matter.


1000 Homo DJ's cover of Supernaut by Black Sabbath is also good.

I downloaded a few different Ryan Adams covers of that song, and it wasnt the same. I also got the Metalica, Radiohead and Greenday versions.
