Your favorite cover of a song?

[I am Jack's smirking revenge]

Placebo's cover of "Where Is My Mind"

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Jimi Hendrix's All along the Watchtower. Even though it's not really a cover, it's still a cover.

Alien Ant Farm's Smooth Criminal comes in a close second.

 

[Satin6T]

DYLAN SUCKS

Wow...seriously...

yes bob dylan cannot sing his own songs without screwing them up(there are like two exceptions to that)

 

[Xvito]

Placebo's cover of "Where Is My Mind"

I would never have guessed...

My favorite cover is probably this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TvpGw7xDv8] version of this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRqtKLskPQs] song.

[Arkhangelsk]

Everything Counts by In Flames, original by Depeche Mode.
Rebel Yell by Children of Bodom, original by Billy Idol.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

is a cover a song done by a band different from the band who originally wrote it?

I thought that was called being uncreative.

anyways,I don't really think I've heard too many of those,and I don't remember any period.

and yes,I know it is not stealing someone elses song,I just meant it sounds like that if you look at it bluntly.

 

[Code_Red]

Johnny Cash's cover of Solitary Man,original by Neil Diamond.

 

[Spaghetti]

Ugh, not a big fan of covers.

But in order to not ruin the mood, my favorites are R.E.M's cover of Editors "Munich" and Editors cover of R.E.M's "Orange Crush" (yes I know that those aren't particularly creative choices.)
