Hey LP, stop promoting your band. We know you're the delirious rapper/guitar player who swears unnecessarily.

Also, can't think of any covers I really do enjoy.

Baby I'm Yours originally by Van McCoy, Covered by the Arctic Monkeys

This one is interesting just because it is such a departure from what the Arctic Monkeys usually do.

[quote name='rabbitt']Under Pressure originally by Queen, covered by The Blood Brothers[/quote]

I hate the Blood Brothers, but I've always loved that cover. That entire album is great.

I think you have that backwards.
 
I don't know if this counts or not, but I've always preferred the Guitar Hero cover of Ziggy Stardust to the original. Of course, that's probably because I hadn't actually heard Ziggy Stardust until I played it in GH.

No, I'm right. the MSI one is quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard.

Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake covered by Lost Prophets

and it may not be a great cover but it was a fun way to end their set, Don't Stop Believing by Journey covered by Dropping Daylight
[MEDIA]http://youtube.com/watch?v=buIH5Sp8HKI[/MEDIA]

also not a cover but rather a mashup of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Oasis' "Wonderwall", Travis' "Writing to Reach You", Aerosmith's "Dream On", and a sample of Missy Elliott and it is a well edited video as well:

Brickhouse- Originally by The Commodores, covered by Rob Zombie ft. Lionel Richie & Trina.

Jimi Hendrix Experience:

All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']If its available I would.[/quote]
All I've been able to find is the mp3 that is used in that video. I think the only performance I've heard of that cover was for a radio station and that radio station didn't do a very good job recording it.
 
Faith No More's cover of The Commodore's "Easy".

I was afraid of that...would have been cool to have a good quality MP3 of that...thanks.
 
Pearl Jam + Steve "The Colonel" Cropper covering Otis Redding's Sittin' on the Dock.
Cropper plays the guitar in the original.

I can get you the audio from the video, but it'll be identical quality.

EDIT: Nevermind, the converter's busted.

It Dies Today's cover of Enjoy the Silence

Staind - Nutshell (orig Alice in Chains)
H.I.M. - Wicked Game (orig Chris Isaak)
Dope - You Spin Me Right Round (orig Dead or Alive)
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (orig Michael Jackson)

Those are a few I like, but I'll check out some of these others. good thread.

Your vote for Wicked Game reminded me that Stone Sour does a great cover of that song too.
 
[quote name='anomynous']No, I'm right. the MSI one is quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard.[/quote]

No, you're wrong.

Mindless Self Indulgence is great.

Better than Deadsy could ever hope to be.
 
[quote name='projecteightysix']It Dies Today's cover of Enjoy the Silence[/quote]

Failure's cover of that song is the best ever hands down.

Also, speaking of Failure, I like "The Nurse Who Loved Me" by A Perfect Circle even though Failure's original is way better.

Speaking of Enjoy The Silence, not a cover but a remix...by Mike Shinoda...I love this version:

If you want the mp3 hit me up on AIM or email or what not..
 
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Tori Amos
"17 Days" (Prince) - Living Colour

Those are a couple off the top of my head but I also second the "Mad World" cover by Gary Jules. That is just a haunting song.

Dynamite Hack's cover of "Boyz in the Hood" cover and Ben Fold's "Bitches Ain't Shit" covers are both hilarious.
 
Cannibal Corpse covering Metallica's "No Remorse" is made of win!
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOdT8YUHbqw[/media]Without a video:
Cradle of Filth - Be Thy Hallowed Name(Iron Maiden)
Ensiferum - Battery(Metallica)
Death - Painkiller(Judas Priest
