or worst lol take your pick. i made a mix cd of covers a while back.

charlotte martin-blue monday, black hole sun, this woman's work, cloudbusting, wild horses
placebo-running up that hill
heather nova-i have the touch
tori amos-songbird, smells like teen spirit, rattlesnakes
sarah mclachlan-dear god
hole-gold dust woman
holly mcnarland-in the air tonight
tegan and sara-i ran

yea i'll stop there before i start to bore you all

tegan and sara - i ran - good choice

Travis - River
Sarah Slean - Bullet Proof and Woodstock


worst cover song ever (like I've heard them all or something) is smells like teen spirit - tori amos. it hurt me deeply. ahh just noticed you have that on your list sorry. heh heh.

lol no worries. a lot of people don't like it, and i can get why. its an anthem for the 90's generation. kurt was our jfk. 'where were you when you heard that kurt died?' he was an icon and is now a legend and so many people have a strong connection to him and his work.
but i enjoy it.

ani difranco: when you were mine, when doves cry, most of the time.
hawksley workman: revolution
breeders: happiness is a warm gun
emm gryner: crazy train
johnny cash: hurt
julianna hatfield: say it ain't so (probably the only song i really like from her)
tori amos: purple rain, smells like teen spirit
the ataris: boys of summer

and of course: hole's version of gold dust woman.

I agree about Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt". His cover of U2's "One" is also good. I also love Dream Theater's covers of Tori Amos' "Winter" and Rush's "Tears".

ahh i completely forgot about emm gryner! she did a stellar job of crazy train. the same can be said of big bang baby. i should really pick up that cd sometime.

HIM - solitary man, and wicked game (yes, the chris issac song)

and if you ever go see wide mouth mason live, they do the best covers ever!
white wedding, billy jean, superstition....and those are the ones ive seen....muahahah!

I've only heard their cover of Superstition. I saw them live twice but they didn't do any covers ... but i'm curious about this "HIM" you've mentioned.

Big Bang Baby is pretty good. I also liked her cover of Song 3. I keep forgetting to look for that CD at the store. It sounds like a good one.

I completely forgot about "One". There's some others that I probably missed by Cash. He was really amazing with doing covers.

Radiohead - Nobody does it better ( the best so far )
Travis - Baby One More Time ( :shock: )

i agree! i cracked up when i first heard that one. and travis always puts on a good show.
i'd say one of my fave covers is Oasis doing the Beatles' I am the Walrus.
others include...
Sixpence None the Richer - Don't Dream It's Over, & There She Goes
Starsailor - Don't Stop Moving (S-Club 7)
Noel Gallagher - To Be Someone (The Jam)
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (Nena)
Oasis - Heroes (David Bowie)

I almost forgot to mention Sarah Slean's "Climbing Up The Walls"...

Cat Power : "The covers record" album
Stina Nordenstam : "People are strange" album

i feel like a right goon now, as i forgot that beautiful cover.

hehe, I love covers...I love hearing how the artist makes the song thier own (or doesn't lol) I'm new to this particular forum but if you get to know me, you'll find out that I'm a big goo goo dolls fan (although I know not many people like them anymore :cry: but that's okay with me) Anyway, they've recently done Give A Little Bit by Supertramp...I think it's awesome , other covers I really like are the Cranberries doing Patsy Cline's Crazy and Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way, Damien Rice w/ Lisa Hannigan doing Nina Simone's Be My Husband, and I don't know if it's considered a cover, lol I have no idea who wrote the song, You Are My Sunshine (I think that's what it's called) Sarah McLachlan did that live in August at the Molson Amphitheatre, it was so beautiful

I was at that show too! It was quite a surprise. Do you remember what song it led into? I can't recall. I'm dying for the dvd of the concert to come out.

Now wouldn't it be just wicked if Slean and McLachlan had a concert together?
