Best Cover Song.

What, in your opinions is the best cover song in creation?

My vote goes to BiGod 20 - Like a Prayer.

Johnny Cash - Hurt is pretty good if you like emotional type ballads.

I don't know if you can call it a cover. I mean, technicly it is. But blues standarts that keep getting new versions aren't really covers maybe?

Oh. Well, I couldn't really think of anything else.

SRV's Little wing is pretty good I guess.

Aw fuck, Probably something by ELP I guess.

Pictures at an Exhibition maybe?

Oh yeah, Pictures at an Exhibition is pretty awesome. Go go Mussorgsky.

I kinda dig Rob Zombie's version of Brick House.

David Bowie's Amsterdam.

Edit - Followed by David Bowie's Imagine.

Tough choice between

Dimmu Borgir - Burn In Hell (Twisted Sister)
&
Iced Earth - Screaming for Vengenace (Judas Priest)

"Sweet Dreams" by Marylin Manson, because it's a completely different style from the original but it still works.

It's very good, but not the OMG BEST EVAR, IMHO.

Tricky has made several great covers:
ella fitzgerald - black coffee
public enemy - black steel
slick rick - children's story

Nine Inch Nails cover of Gary Numan's Metal

I'm really not a huge fan of covers, so "Sweet Dreams" was the first good one I thought of.

This thread is pretty much like your favorite artist thread, or what's on your playlist thread. Everyone just post cover versions of artists they love which other people don't know (the song, not the artist).

ok.

Bowie's Pin Up album consisted only of covers, and most were awesome.

Hm, I rather liked Cradle of Filth's cover of Fear of the Dark (all their other stuff is crap).

I like this.

I also like some of William Shatner's covers.
