The living end - Tainted Love!

 

[S.P.G.]

The living end - Tainted Love!

I am probably the only person who will say this but i liked marilyn manson's version of it as well. (prepares flame suit)

 

[SCHOEY]

Tainted Love

I am probably the only person who will say this but i liked marilyn manson's version of it as well. (prepares flame suit)

I will agree with you there, at least he made it his, and didn't just up the tempo. (prepares flame suit too)

 

[bazza]

i really do like a lot of evergreen terraces covers. mainly mad world and zero.

 

[Binaural]

No will agree with you there, at least he made it his, and didn't just up the tempo. (prepares flame suit too)

His version of Eurythmic's "sweet dreams" was pretty good as well (heads for flame-proof underground bunker).

 

[grumpy rooster]

Anything off the Nativity in Black, Black Sabbath tribute album

But my all time favourite is Living Colour's version of Memories Can't Wait by Talking Heads.

 

[cam-o]

Found an interesting one the other day,
Band called HIM (His Infernal Majesty) doing a cover of "Don't Fear the Reaper". It's kinda cool.

 

[Kunal]

Sorry if this is dig but there is no point in starting another thread. I'd have to say a really good remake is Jeff Buckley doing halelujah

 

[Breaka]

Marylin Manson- Tainted Love.
Machine head - Message in a bottle.
AFI - 99 red balloons

 

[Oddjob]

A good recent one was Lily Allens cover of Kaiser Chiefs Oh My God

There are two classic Duran Duran tribute albums as well Undone which was done by Aussie artists http://www.discogs.com/release/697124 and The Duran Duran Tribute Album http://www.shock.com.au/releases/info.asp?release_ID=128880

 

[scblack]

Pet Shop Boys version of "Always on my Mind" original by Elvis Presley.

It was voted a year or so ago by a large group of world music writers as the second best ever cover version. Forget what they voted number one.

 

[danv]

Never Say Never covered by Queens of the Stone Age kicks ass. The song is originally done by Romeo Void.
"I might like you better if we slept together.."

My least favourite remake of a song is Jet's remake of Iggy's classic 'Lust for Life'.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Gentlemen,

Behold!...

[floody]

I am probably the only person who will say this but i liked marilyn manson's version of it as well. (prepares flame suit)

I quite liked Marilyn Manson's cover of Eurythmics Sweet Dreams (Are made of these).
I think my most favourite cover is Foo Fighters doing Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.
Geez, they're both a bit poppish..bah who gives a fark I like them.

 

[Weasel]

Ok i hate HIM but they did a really good cover of Imagine by the beatles

 

[Weasel]

Sorry it was A Perfect Circle and i like them... HIM sucks balls

 

[leitch]

Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons - waaaay better than the AFI cover of the same song

 

[|Matt|]

Shout 2000 by Disturbed is a great cover. Not sure who did the first one(s) (if there was multiple covers)

 

[Dicky]

I love these threads... so much stuff I've never heard of.

Reel Big Fish- "Take on Me"

The Porkers - Burnin' Love (Elvis Presley)
Reel Big Fish - New York New York (Frank Sinatra)
Bodyjar - Hazy Shade of Winter (Simon & Garfunkel)
Jughead's Revenge - Just What I Needed (The Cars)

I am probably the only person who will say this but i liked marilyn manson's version of (Tainted Love) as well.

Metallica - Cretin Hop (Ramones)
Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar (Thin Lizzy)
