Well, since no one else is going...

Don’t You Forget About Me-Life of Agony
White Wedding-The Enkindles
People are Strange-Echo and The Bunnymen
Message in a Bottle-Machine Head
Wicked Game-by both Today is the Day and Him

awesome choice Zero the Hero - Cannibal Corpse is my fav

One of the best covers ive ever heard, still like it better than the original.

LMAO i nearly shit a brick the first time i heard this one. Crazy to hear them cover a song.

sweet dreams - marilyn manson
in league with satan- six feet under
white wedding- murder dolls
fuck the police- dope, although rage against the machine does a fine job as well
the man who sold the world- nirvana

Demons Night - Cannibal Corpse is good too :-)

Planet Caravan - Pantera (one of my favs)

Oh and i agree on the Manson cover nightbreed.

That would have made my list easily if I didn't put the limit of 5, as well as Anthrax's cover of London.

The Badge-Pantera
Planet Caravan-Pantera
War Pigs-Faith No More
Gold Dust Woman-Hole
Boys of Summer-The Ataris

I kinda dig their version of Wicked Game.

I like all of the covers on Project 1950, and Korn's Version of Another Brick in the Wall is growing on me. I want them to do a cover of Fat Bottom Girls:D

Rendezvous with Anus-HIM (Turbonegro Cover)
The First Cut Is the Deepest-HIM (Cat Stevens Cover)
Solitary Man-HIM (Neil Diamond Cover)
Lovesong-311 (The Cure Cover)
Riders on the Storm-Ween (The Doors Cover)

Time After Time- Uncle Kracker [Cindy Lauper cover, I think]

like a virgin - lords of the new church (madonna)
Boogie Wonderland - boys VS girls (earth wind and fire)
wreck of the edmund fitzgerald - rheostatics (gordon lightfoot)
wish you were here - wyclef Jean (pink floyd)
everyone's a winner - bootsauce (hot chocolate)

ummm.... crap?

"first cut is the deepest" is actually an old reggae song recorded first by Lee Scratch Perry (I think). and yes, that one bitch who redid it should be shot.

here's a few covers I like:

Time After Time- Action Patrol (yeah, Cyndi Lauper did it)
Dirty Old Town- the Pogues (Dubliners cover)
Round and Round- the Meat Purveyors (RATT cover)
Land of 1000 Dances- the Cherry Valence (Wilson Pickett)
Satisfaction- Otis Redding (duh)

"First cut is the deepest" was written by Cat Stevens. (My girlfriend says). Cherly Crow redid his verison.

Marilyn Manson...I Put A Spell On You....I also loved the way he did the Willy Wonka Boat Song, but I didn't care for his version of Tainted Love, I still think Soft Cell did it best...

I love just about everything that VNV Nation covered, especially Covenant's We Stand Alone...As well as Black Tape For A Blue Girl's covers of Major Tom and Paint It Black

Everyone seemed to really like Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt...But, I still love the way Trent did/does it...

CODE BLUE-BOUNCING SOULS(TSOL)

EASY-FAITH NO MORE(LIONEL RICHIE)

INAGADDADAVIDA-SLAYER(IRON BUTTERFLY)

well, i obviously dont think so or i would have posted it in a 'least 5 favorite covers' thread ?

The First Cut is the Deepest was indeed written by Cat Stevens. It was a hit for PP Arnold in Britain in 1967, reaching #18 in the charts. Stevens never released his original version as a single, as he felt PP Arnold's rendition was a definitive version.

wasnt it bonnie tyler/taylor ???

that also did a cover .. an anoying one .. ?

did Rod Stewart cover it too .. or am i getting confused because she sounded like him . ?

Nevermind..

Don't think your the only one. Everyone likes crap! :)

All I have to do is pop in Iced Earth's Tribute to the Gods to get some of the best covers I have ever heard.

The Donnas - Livin' After Midnight

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Mad World - Gary Jules
Come Together - Aerosmith
Hallelujah - John Cale
Llorando - Rebekah del Rio (cover of Crying by Roy Orbison)

I'll agree with STE besides
Come Together - Aerosmith.

the beatles did that way better.. Aerosmith is hella lame

5 Best Covers
 

METALLICA = Breadfan

METALLICA = Am I Evil

GUNS N ROSES = Word Up

GUNS N ROSES = Knocking On Heavens Door

JUDAS PRIEST = Green Manalishi

Wow those are all really bad.

A cover has too be better than the original artists verison or just as good.

GUNS N ROSES - Knocking On Heavens Door is so much worse than Dylan's verison

I don't agree.

Jimi Hendrix - All along the Watchtower (another Bob Dylan cover done way better)


I'll think of 5 songs later, all I can think of now is Fuck the Police by Rage against the Machine.

Don't agree with what exactly?

I'll agree with Hendrix did a great verison of "watchtower"

But Bob Dylan is the fuckin' man.

5 Best Cover Songs
 

Hey c'mon!
Metallica's riffs on those covers just destroy everythingin their path and James Hetfield's vocals just shred.They make the originals sound so weak and tinny.
Any Priest fan will tell you that their version of Green Manalishi is a metal classic.
Slash's guitar playing also breathes new life into any cover that Guns N Roses ever did.

Re: 5 Best Cover Songs
 

You listen too really bad music. You seem like a nice guy, why do you even listen too metal? Its really shitty and its all just pointless anger.

Axel Rose is a total douche bag and James Hetfeld has the worse singing voice ever.... well besides Axel's.

I guess Priest is alright... if you like dudes in leather. whatever gets you're kicks

Hey sedated, even though I couldn't care less about meeting Ian McKaye, I gotta give you props!
I fully agree that Hetfield and Axl are the two worst singers in the world. They are put to shame by William Hung.
That's right.
You heard me.

burt bacharach makes everything above sound like children warbling in the sandbox ..

this man is THE MAN !
