Greatest Cover Songs

[Horned Gramma]

Speaking of Petra Haden and awesome covers, her full-album cover of 'The Who Sells Out' is one of the most fantastic, bizzare things I've ever heard.

[Horned Gramma]

Likewise Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade's live cover of Floyd's 'Animals'; one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.

On the subject, the first person who posts anything from that Dirty Projectors abortion gets a dick-kicking.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

I so prefer this over the original its not even funny. In fact, I hated the original until I heard this one. Now I find it tolerable.

The reaon I love(d) Modest Mouse:

[StormyPinkness]

What a Fool Believes - Self (originally Doobie Brothers)

[StormyPinkness]

This is the best thing to play on a jukebox at a crowded bar. The best and most total cockblock.

Still will never beat the original but it's still pretty damn epic.

[interstateeight]

Well, if we're going down that path:

Geno, I grew up listening to metal so this one brought back memories for me. It still chokes me up to think about Dimebag

[StormyPinkness]

Ok this is important. First you have to listen to this one:

Residents - It's a Man's Man's Man's World:


And now you have to listen to this one:
Molly Harvey - It's a Man's Man's Man's World


Molly Harvey played with the Residents from 1998-2003 and she is amazing to me. The cover of the Residents cover of the James Brown song has become like a fucking anthem for me. I think there is more than one video with her doing this song but they are all fucking amazing.

Yeah seriously. Definetly one of the more "beautiful" songs from them.

I could listen to this song over and over for eternity.



I'm not a Matt Pond PA fan at all, but both of these next songs are just such different interpretations of the originals and I completely love them. NMH diehards will hate me but oh well.





And if this doesn't seal Vampire Weekend as the cutest fucking band on earth, then I don't know what will.



Speaking of beautiful re-interpretations...



Lastly, this is my favorite hardcore band on earth. Pretty great cover.

That Rock Lobster is awesome.
