Good/Bad Covers

[Syvelocin]

Of course there would be a lot of variation in what covers members would deem good and bad, but in your own opinion, what are some covers of songs that you enjoy, and then the opposite of such.

My opinions could probably be considered quite different, but I'll still share.

Favourite
-Come Together - Marilyn Manson
-Bohemian Rhapsody - Emilie Autumn
-Smells Like Teen Spirit - Tori Amos
-Enjoy the Silence - Tori Amos
-Enjoy the Silence - Lacuna Coil
-Idioteque - Amanda Palmer
-Hurt - Amanda Palmer

Least Favourite
-Every single cover I've heard a Disney star do. May I suggest Miley Cyrus' Girls Just Want To Have Fun? Or Selena Gomez's Magic? O.O

Not really a cover, but Sunn O))) did a interpretation of the Metallica song, "For Whom The Bell Tolls". It's pretty fucking awesome. Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRLBCeC-uCk)

I'm going to agree that Marilyn Manson is really good at covering songs. Really, Manson used to be really creative, but has been limited for the previous two albums. People really overlook his music because he's one of the only mainstream artists that hates the mainstream. His cover of Personal Jesus is just a classic for one.

Emily Haines did a really nice cover of Elliott Smith's "Between The Bars". Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM5kCRrZ2ZE)

Although, I have to say Shining's Cover of a King Crimson classic is the best I've heard so far:

FUCKING LISTEN TO IT AND HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING EARGASM

Ew. OMG. I hate that song. And it comes up on related when I'm listing to EA covers.
It sucks. Major balls.

Thank you >.<

That cover has nothing on the original, and especially EA's harpsichord. What was the point of that cover, really? Other than to make my ears bleed?

Adding....
-Asleep - Emilie Autumn
-Thriller - Imogen Heap
-Running Up That Hill - Placebo
-Personal Jesus - Marilyn Manson (can't believe I forgot that one :eek:)

I hate when like emo/screamo bands try to cover popular mainstream pop songs. They're always terrible.

[JackOfClubs]

I love the Dropkick Murphys' cover of "The Green Fields of France" (or "Willie McBride")

Johnny Cash did an AMAZING cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
Literally the song is raw emotion. Fantastic cover!

Under Pressure covered by The Used and My Chemical Romance has a really catchy sound to it. The song can and will get stuck in your head.

Justin Bieber's cover of Love Fool by The Cardigans ruined that song for me.

[Andelicious]

Faith No More does a funny cover of Poker Face (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBE3CTcNa8I) before segueing into one of their own songs. They also do a nice cover of the Bee Gees' I Started a Joke: original (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRNTQvXSsfA), cover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qTUBBQfL5M).

Worst Cover Ever

[thegirl]

The best cover I've heard so far must be A Perfect Circle who did John Lennon's Imagine, that was really nice :)

[Emily_LOVES_MUSIC]

in my opinion, five finger death punch made the song bad company by bad company better by covering it. this song deserves to be an up beat song. not a slow-ish song like when bad company first dropped that song. just sayin.

[ShatteredWings]

Miley Cyrus covering Nirvana.......

....Do I want to look this up to see how horrible it is, or do I want to just take your word for this?
