There are no words that can ever describe how horrible that 'cover' is. (referring to about Fightstar destroying a good Judas Priest song)

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Muse - Feeling Good, originally made famous by Nina Simone I believe.

 

[Valkyira]

Most modern 'covers' are terrible

Well then you'll probably hate this one:

[Firenz]

Stairway to Heaven cover by Rodrigo y Gabriella
or Apocolyptica's cover of Nothing Else matters
or The Mississippi Muddy Water Bluegrass tribute to Audioslave's Shadow on the Sun (for the Comedy Value)

Turisas - Rasputin[url].
Dope - You Spin Me Round [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X0VB4_jbxg].

Also a feth load of Metallica is just covers but eh. They do them well.

I forgot about the Turisas one, actualy one of my favourite songs right now.

Yeah you got that right. Though as covers go I hold them a bit higher than I do Lost Prophets and their butchering of Machine Heads Davidian..but still these are horrible.

Their not my favourite but some that i think are quite good.

The Impossible Dream (The Quest) - Andy Williams
Ghost Riders in the Sky - Spiderbait
holding out for a hero - Jennifer Saunders

Why in music is it a cover whilst everywhere else it's plagerism?

I'm guessing its not plagerism because they ask permission to cover the song from the original artist, also that Spiderbait song is kickass.

Spoiler: Hallowed be Thy Name covered by Iced Earth

Better than the original, in my opinion.
Although I'm not much for Iron Maiden, aside from Fear of the Dark.

Ghostlines cover of Brave New World by Iron Maiden.
Death's cover of Painkiller by Judas Priest is the real bomb though.

Nobody has ever been as badass as Dexter Romweber.

I have three videos to show you WHY I like the cover best:

Spoiler: The Original Land of Confusion - Genesis

Spoiler: Land of Confusion - In Flames

Spoiler: Land of Confusion - Disturbed (and the BEST version)

Now, I like all three bands. In Flames is probably my favorite band at the moment (based on the fact that I listen to them more than anyone else, generally), but their cover of LoC just kinda... Bites. Genesis' version is just... I dunno. Disturbed covered it well enough to do better than the original. My opinion anyway.

Ska Tetris for the win

 

[Jaebird]

When the Levee Breaks by A Perfect Circle. It's the kind of song you just want to mellow out to, as oppose to the Led Zeppelin version (not that I would dislike their song).
