a few I love..
for some ungodly reason, I love earth crisis cover earth AD. maybe cause it’s so over the top.
I also love… pavement’s the killing moon
sonics – louie louie
theres a bunch that i cant think of right now…but becuase it was posted recently Bigwig did a fantastic cover of ashtray monuments by jawbreaker http://www.myspace.com/bigwignj
Get Up Kids – Burned Bridges (Coalesce cover)
Fucked Up – Stress (Justice cover)
Cat Power – I Found a Reason (V.U. cover)
He’s a Whore – Big Black (Cheap Trick cover)
Hell, that’s all I can think, but those are some good ones…
Shades Apart – Tainted Love
The Damned – Looking At You
Me First & Gimme Gimmes – Goodbye Earl
The Dickies – Banana Splits
The Fall – Theres a Ghost In My House
No Use For A Name – Fairytale Of New York
The Vandals – My Heart Will Go On
just to name a few, i could go on all night
TV On The Radio – Mr. Grieves (Pixies)
It’s hard to think of the absolutely best covers ever. I can think of a lot but I feel like there should be better ones.
Idlewild – I Found That Essence Rare
Ted Leo and The Pharmacists – Since U Been Gone / Maps
Placebo – Running Up That Hill
Kate Miller-Heidke – Little Water Song
Gyroscope – Monument
The Mountain Goats – Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise
Sarah Blasko – Don’t Dream It’s Over
I would have to go with Farsides cover of Return of the Fly from that album…but here are a few covers I dig
iron and wine – love vigilantes
everything but the girl – Allison
Cowboy Junkies – Sweet Jane
Loquat – There is a light that never goes out
Johnny Cash – Thirteen
the cure – love will tear us apart again
Dinosaur Jr – Just Like Heaven
Cardigans – Iron Man
Erlend Oye – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Postmarks – Every Day Is Halloween
Cocorosie – Turn Me On
Death Cab – All Is Full of Love
Arcade Fire – Guns of Brixton
Final Fantasy – Peach, Plum, Pear
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings – This Land Is Your Land (almost doesn’t count as a cover, since so much Woody Guthrie is conceptually near public domain, but they totally own this song)
Sinead O’Connor – Dagger Through The Heart
Sarah Harmer – Summertime
