Best cover song?

Hayley Westenra's version of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights". Kate Bush's is plain painful to listen to.

I also prefer the GHIII version of "Paint if Black" to the original.

Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis.

Avenged Sevenfold's cover of Walk.

I Will Survive - Cake (originally by Gloria Gaynor)

The Earth Isn't Humming - Thrice (originally by Frodus)

Fall Out Boys cover of Walk. ;)

I think this is very good.

Paramore's cover of My Hero (by the Foo Fighters)

Sea of Treachery's cover of Misery Business (by Paramore)

I set my friends on Fire's cover of crank dat (by soulja boy)

All Time Low's cover of Umbrella (by Rihanna)

The Devil Wears Prada's cover of Still Fly (by Big Tymers)

Rise Against's cover of Any Way You Want It (by Journey)

Bowling For Soup's cover of Summer of '69 (by Bryan Adams)

All Along The Watch Tower By Jimi Hendrix is a great cover of the song by Bob Dylan.honkyjoe

Agreed. All of Rage Against The Machine's covers are good. And I think Paramore's cover of My Hero completely ruined it in my opinion.

Well, their cover of Street Fighting Man was pretty bad, but overall yeah they did a good job.

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Originally Nine Inch Nails)

Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks (Originally... damn... I forget)

Jimi Hendrix- All Along the Watchtower (Originally Bob Dylan)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (Originally Stevie Wonder)

Their cover of Beat It is sacrelige of the purest form!

John Coltrane's cover of My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music.

I don't really listen to cover songs, but I do like Lily Allen's cover of "Naive".

Nirvana's cover of The Man Who Sold the World is better than BowieTravo_basic

so true also

foo fighters cover of baker street (Gerry Rafferty) is unbeliveable

The Jonas Brothers covers. They're so talented, not to mention cute. :oops:

Seriously though, I like the Guns N Roses cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door.

Well, not may be the best, but one of the most creative (and funny) cover out there is:

Devo- Are you experienced? (Hendrix Cover)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qonTIZGu27w

Guns N'Roses- Knockin on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)

Rage Against the Machine- How I Could Just Kill a Man (Cypress Hill)

Ragest Against the Machine- Anything else that was covered on the Renegades album (which the whole album is)

Trivium- Master of Puppets (Metallica)

Shadows Fall- Welcome to the Machine (Pink Floyd)

Bedlight For Blue Eyes cover of Jumper(Third Eye Blind).

A bad song to begin with:| Sorry no Michael Jackson is awesome. Also Roxanne is originally by Toto, no cover of a Toto song will ever be as good as the original because Toto is made of pure win.

Van Halen's cover of "You Really Got Me"

Blind Guardian's cover of "Mr. Sandman" (also quite possibly the awesomest music video ever)

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie)

Bullet for my Valentine - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (Metallica)

Trivium - Master of Puppets (Metallica)

Nirvana's cover of The Man Who Sold the World is better than Bowie's.Travo_basic

No, just no. Kurt Cobain was, in almost every, inferior the David Bowie.

As for covers, I'd say:

Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar cover, Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, and Queens of the Stone Age's cover of White Wedding.

Id say its not better than the original but i like how it is accoustic

Thelonious Monk covering "Just a Gigolo".
