a band i was in used to cover the sweater song by weezer....it was good times...we used to just make up shit where the people would be having conversations...we stopped doing that when our guitar player called our lead singer a "******" on stage in the midst of the song....good times...

HOLY SHIT! You are the first person I have ever agreed with on this forum. HOORAY! That is an amazing cover. So is H2O - Bad Boys(originally be Inner Circle) and H2O - Like a Prayer(originally by Madonna). All the shit I have said to you means nothing because you like that cover. Amazing.

03/16/03, 04:54 PM
that 'i get around' is not pennywise if my memory serves me correctly. isn't it one of the Me First tracks? im probably wrong. oh well.

oh shit wait it really is. nevermind then.

yeat182
03/16/03, 04:57 PM
i'm pretty sure its pennywise, but i could also be mistaken. the only beach boys song i KNOW Me first did is sloop john b, which also deserves to be mentioned.

03/16/03, 05:25 PM
"Genie in a Bottle" by Thrice, I think. That cover is the shit. And of course "I'm Real" by TSL.

Goldfinger's 99 Red Balloons... can't get enough of that cover.
A lot of the covers NFG did, I liked. ...actually...any punk cover of a song ends up sounding better than the original...well...no, i take that back. But a majority do...

yeat182
03/16/03, 06:53 PM
i liked NOFX's cover of "radio" by rancid the first times i heard it, it was a very original cover...but i got kinda sick of it after awhile, the original rocks too much.

I disagree. Its a great cover, but by the time they covered it, it had been done by like at least 4 or 5 other punk bands. 7 Seconds covered it first, and i think they covered it the best.

I just thought more great covers:
Sublime covering any Decendants songs (they did at least 3 or 4)
Sublime covering any Operation Ivy Songs (they did at least 2)

I thought Am I Wrong? by Love Spit Love was done well by Brand New...

hmm...

Uhh, I like Antigone's Revenge's cover of These Boots Are Made For Walking (They did the whole thing, unlike Op Ivy, but Op Ivy still kicks more ass than anyone)

Like A Prayer by Rufio is pretty good. The beginning of a Voodoo Glow Skulls song takes the beginning riff from Crazy Train, that was kinda cool.

Those are ones I like, oh yeah, and I like Good Riddance's cover of "I'll Melt With You" by Modern English.

Me first and the gimme gimmes - life is a cabaret

NFG's album "From the Screen to Your Stereo [EP]" was filled with great covers.

(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004S51F/qid=1048441495/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-1358791-0590410)

Also "Punk goes Pop" had alot of good covers.

oh and on the new Rise Against album that comes out in April, there is a hidden track cover of Journey's Anyway You Want It and its awesome.

There's a live cover of it on KaZaA. I think it's quite good. It was listed as one of their songs at plyrics.com so I looked for it and, yup...they covered it.
