OT: Best Cover
- Thread starter BABYBULL24
- Start date
Saw an interview where Richard Carpenter said he does not like this at all...smh.
How can we all have missed the two greatest covers of all time?
William Shatner covers Elton John's "Rocket Man"
And if your head doesn't fall off your torso after that one, there's Shatner's earlier performance of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
Live from The Vomitorium in music's past!

My friend found a various artists of Punk covers. It was released in the UK in the late 80s and had Devo, Sex Pistols,Clash songs mentioned. I'm pretty sure now the Dickies cover was on it too. It also had a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. It was a great albumn with tons of great covers. I've been searching for it online and at Princeton Record Exchange and a similar store close to work. No luck yet.
Metallica - Am I Evil (Diamond Head)
Crowbar - Dream Weaver (Gary Wright)
Type O Negative - Summer Breeze (Seals & Krofts)
Tool - No Quarter (Led Zep)

I'm a big Paul Simon fan, he and Art got me through my time at RU. I was prepared for the worst but I liked it, despite the mug on the vid.
they still tour with a new lead singer who does a great job and Jerry Cantrall was the lead on alot of their hits too so the AIC sound is defiinitely there...would highly recommend
I saw Jerry Cantrell open solo for Nickelback at Convention Hall in Asbury. I walked out after Jerry's set. He is great.
Oldest- not much.
Youngest- was into 21 Pilots, which is not bad, and some other stuff which I can't describe. They get a solid dose of metal and rock when we are in the car.
Sex Pistols Covered the Monkees and Frank Sinatra tunes pretty well:
Steppin Stone:
My Way:
maybe I'm wrong... but first thing I thought of:
Three more of my favorite punkish covers:
Agent Orange — Do You Want Somebody to Love (Jefferson Airplane did it)
Descendants —Wendy (Beach Boys)
Seven Seconds — 99 Red Balloons (Nena)

Going to see these guys later tonight.
Dave Grohl produced (maybe played on?) the studio verison. Really cool how they repackaged and made sense of the gibberish from Roky Erickson’s original.

All time favorite cover:
Although I love the entire album, Grace, by Jeff Buckley -- it's probably in my top 5 of all time, this cover is not in my top 5 tunes of his, maybe because I've heard it 8,000,000 times. Either way, fantastic cover:

This is the best cover of a Beatles song, hands down.
Oh yeah, has a guy playing lead by the name of Duane Allman.
I second this. They are still very good with the new singer. I've seen them 3 or 4 times recently.
One of my favorite cover songs is David Gilmour’s rendition of There’s No Way Out of Here... probably not universally recognized because the original was never a hit. Always found this to be right in Dave’s wheel house.
This was a critical solo effort as it produced this little demo with no lyrics that producer Bob Ezrin pushed to have included in Floyd’s The Wall. That song would eventually have lyrics put together by Waters and become Comfortably Numb.

Back in the 90's I was totally obsessed with her. Saw her live close to a dozen times across the first 4 albums. Biggest highlight was scoring front row seats for her show at PNC and then hearing her play Mother from LE. It was pretty amazing.
Most intimidating pit I saw was when Anthrax performed at Sayreville. A small pit, but there were some cats who just didn’t look right.
So many great shows in my younger days. Sad to say the last one I saw was over 10 years ago to see Sevendust.
Sounds like a cool compilation - could it be this one?

You haven't lived until you've heard The Slits cover I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
Of course, it was an all female band.
That's almost it ! At least I think. Find me a place to get that copy and I will never post on your weather thread again.lol
It doesn't have the Godzilla punk version though. But probably the same UK record company. Flying Lizards Money was definitely on it. And Walk on By
