    If we are talking making a cover 'your own' there is one stand out for me ...

    Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower.

    I was just about to say Dave Matthews Band for that too and when they perform Cortez the Killer

    Noah Guthrie- Sexy and I know it, not that the song is any good but what he does to it is amazing.

    A lot of people bash cover songs for some reason.
    I personally don't find anything wrong with a band doing their own rendition of a song.

    I really enjoy Bullet For My Valentine's cover of Crazy Train.

    Ok, I know lots of people dont like Nickleback, but they actually did a pretty good cover of Metallica's Sad But True.

    And I like the White Stripes cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton.

    "Call Me Maybe" by Ben Howard. Seriously. He took this turd of a song and made it insanely beautiful. And there is no way you can watch him sing and not fall in love. Swoon.

    Avenged Sevenfold's cover of Pantera's 'Walk' and Foo Fighter's cover of Prince's 'Darling Nikki' are two of my favs

    Avenged Sevenfold covered "Walk"?!?!?! YouTube @ lunch!


    I love FFDP's cover of "Bad Company" & Shinedown's cover of "Simple Man"
