favorite song covers

[Muzikman]

I dunno if I have a favorite cover. Someone mentioned Phish and they have done some great covers (Whipping Post and Hurricane would be my favorites). I wouldn't really call All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix as a cover of Dylan's...they sound nothing a like

On a side note. There is a band out of State College PA called Velveeta. They are one of the best 80's coverbands I have ever heard. If you live in the PA area, I suggest you take a look at their web site (www.80scheese.com) and see if they are playing near you. (also, check out the pictures, if you look at the Jan 3, 2004 show, I took some of the pictures)

I would have to say that either the Cure's version of Purple Haze or the Unseen's cover of "Beat It" would have to be my favorite.

OMG... In my humble opinion I think this song on the Central Park CD/DVD is the best one ever recorded. It just F'in ROCKS!

That's a good one. Also, Metallica's "Turn the Page", or Dope "You Spin me Round" (like a recoerd, baby)

dylan wrote the original watchtower, hendrix covered it, dylan said he could have it, and that hendrix really played it the way it should be played.

and so on...

Yeah, I meant that both those songs were originally written by Dylan and I like the Hendrix covers. Dylan was a great songwriter but just didn't have a great voice, I hate when people cover a Hendrix song though cause in my opinion it just makes the song worse.

Dynamite Hack's cover of Easy E's "Boyz in the Hood"

[Eric Cartman]

I've got two. Tool doing Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter", and (I'm going right off the board with this one) Motorhead & Girlschcool (Wendy O Williams) doing Tammy Winette's "Stand By Your Man". This has to be heard to be believed!

I can't believe I forgot about that one. Definately an awsome song.

I saw them do it live years ago. It blew me away. When they were finished, Maynard said "Anyone under 25, we wrote that song."
Incredible cover.
