    I'm checking out that Sick Puppies Cherub Rock cover right now. It's pretty different from the original, I'm not too sure if that's a good thing.

    The foo fighters cover of Gary Numan's down in the park is good, Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor cover it too and I find that it sounds better with a bite.

    NO DOUDT it's my life. as the D.J said: that's a song you don't dare touch to cover but NO DOUDT did a master job on that song. not to mention the film clip was pretty disturbing to. in a very entertainment way!*:devil:

    My favourite cover is The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana
    That entire Unplugged album was packed with great covers.

    Seu Jorge's Bowie covers on the Life Aquatic soundtrack are amazing. Here's a link to "Life on Mars." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6l8zrsf4LY His "Changes" cover is also great.

    Also, The Bird and The Bee's cover of "How Deep is Your Love" is one of my all time favorites. It's a beautiful song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opJtIYBgLDg

    John Legend did a "Rollin' in the Deep" cover. It is pure acapella deliciousness.

    Also Grum did Toto's "We Can Make it Tonight" but called it "Straight Through the Night." It reeks of 80s synths :heart:

    Tesla - Signs - although I like the original also.

    Also like Every Rose Has It's Thorn sung by Miley Cyrus. Again, also a fan of the original.

    And, yes, my musical tastes are pretty much stuck in the 80s. :)

    there's a youtube clip of Jeff Tweedy from Wilco doing the Black Eyed Peas I gotta feeling cover.
    It's not the best cover i've ever heard but it's pretty awesome.

    Obidiah Parker doesn't an excellent cover of Outkast's Hey ya. If you haven't heard that I really think you should.

    Christian Kane did an awesome cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car".

    Reba's "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia"

    Manson's "Sweet Dreams"

    Fugees' "Killing Me Softly"

    and - this is going to sound weird: Anthony Stewart Head did a rendition of "Behind Blue Eyes" in Buffy episode Where the Wild Things Are. i adored it.


    **edited b/c i named the wrong ep.

    I figured someone would appreciate. The great, great thing about music is that it's listener's choice to decide what's "best." :)
