Your favorite cover songs.

I like covers. Good covers preferably but bad covers make me laugh so I guess I like them too. Here's a few a of my favourites.

This one may be favourite or at least runner up to the next one.

Viovod-Astronomy Domine(Originally by Pink Floyd)


Matt Minglewood-Can't you see(Originally by The Marshall Tucker band)


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

A couple of others that I like as well.

Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar(Made famous by the Dubliners, too old to know who wrote it)


Limp Bizkit-Sanitarium(Originally by Metallica)


Whats a cover thread without MFATGG.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes-Country Roads(Originally by John Denver)


Another top fav of mine.
Ugly Kid Joe-Cats In The Cradle(Originally by Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam)


Damn Universal Music. Every vid they own has embedding disabled.

Great idea OP. I really like a lot of covers and discovered a lot of music that way. Here's a few a little off the beaten path. -Most people don't even attempt FZ.

This one's cheating a little. Zappa playing Zappa with a former band member




Nice double cover. Elemental




Probably helps if you know the song for this one. Stick with it, it's pretty good.

That's a good one. I like Manson covers. Couldn't find a music video or live version, though.

Little different direction. I thought green day was a Brit band when I first heard them so..

there are so many to chose from this is one of my favorite groups


One of us,,by Gregorian




Voyage - Gregorian (Master Of Chant Chapter III)

annnnnd i dont think this video needs intro either


but i will anyways....Tool Live No Quarter

The two bands who have probably influenced me more than any other are The Clash and The Levellers.
How good is this.

The Specials are also one my favourite bands and have been so influential.

Was going to post Skinhead Symphony but have done so already in another thread and there is a link to it in my signature.

So, here's their version of Guns Of Navarone originally done by The Skatalites.


And here's them having a go at Toots And The Maytals classic Pressure Drop.

Bullring Brummies - The Wizard

The band Bullring Brummies was made up of Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, Fight/ Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford, The Obsessed guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, Fight guitarist Brian Tilse and Jimmy Wood on Harmonica. Their cover of "The Wizard" on Nativity in Black is their only recording.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You


(Click the HQ button in the corner to get high quality)

Lucia Micarelli with Jethro Tull - Kashmir

I was never a punk fan, so it surprises me this song stands the test of time.

Gob-Paint it Black

The original was by this one band that maybe somebody's heard of lol.

Always thought they did a worthy job with this.



Annie could sing what's on the side of a cereal box on sound good.
