Best covers you've ever heard ?

[king gabriel]

Name some. I wanna hear it too.

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

This is the most original thread I've ever posted in.

[kbi the crowing]

Kevin Devine - The Longer I Lay Here (Pedro The Lion)

[MattADALIE]

Hmmm... "Come Clean" cover by my band (www.myspace.com/adaliepa (http://www.myspace.com/adaliepa)). It's the third song on the playlist if you wish to give it a listen or two. Sure, it's a cover of what I would call a 2003 Disney Pop song, but, we put our own little spin to it. Check it out.

[Charles777]

FOB's Joy Division cover.

[EvilZeppelin]

UQSGa8nZs8g

[derekmoyer4]

johnny cash - hurt

end of discussion. thank you.

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

johnny cash - hurt

end of discussion. thank you.

Every time I hear this song, I can never quite decide if I like it or not. I know the original so well, and just trying to put it in the context of Cash singing it just somehow doesn't sit right with me.

7rZMYHJ0Ils

Maybe not the best, but one of my favorites.

[partisanpunk]

the journey song rise against covered.

[AussieBoy]

rufio - like a prayer

one dollar short - not pretty enough

the a day to remember covers

[Zachariaahh]

gangstas paradise - in fear and faith

[frozenphoenix32]

Thrice- Helter Skelter (Beatles Cover)
The Audition- Living On A Prayer (Bon Jovi)
Blink-182- Letter to Elise (The Cure)
Anberlin- Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode)

[makeasound]

My four favorite covers of all time:

Thrice - "Send Me An Angel" (originally by Real Life)
The Dear & Departed - "Under The Milky Way" (originally by The Church)
Runner Runner - "She Will Be Loved" (originally by Maroon 5)
The Beatles - "Long Tall Sally" (originally by Little Richard)

[SofiaHxC]

New Reel Big Fish´s record is all about covers. Is called "Fame, Fortune and Fornication".
Anc check out the band Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, they play only covers.

[Oddpac87]

My favorite cover of anything ever:

Yogo6fJPJnE

Another awesome Beatles cover:

wRHXn5iFmhM

And just because it is ridiculous and therefore awesome:

Fn-VYmNDszc

[ktiki]

Confide's cover of the Postal Service's "such great heights" is the best cover I have heard in my life.

succch a good cover and energetic video.


60195695

[acemvivere]

Alkaline Trio did a Tegan and Sara song, I think. It wasn't that good in my opinion, but I like that they covered one of their songs.

[atticus18244fss]

Flame away but:
"Men in Black" by FTSK
"I Wanna Love You" by The Maine

are guilty pleasures

[atticus18244fss]

Confide's cover of the Postal Service's "such great heights" is the best cover I have heard in my life.

succch a good cover and energetic video.

OMFGGGGGGGGG. Is this some sort of joke? I actually thought this was going to be a solid cover. Then the intro ends. Do people actually listen to this shit? jesus christ

haha yeah if your not expecting it or are not into their sound its shocking as soon as the intro ends, but i love "this shit" :]

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

Energy did a real good cover of Foo Fighter's Everlong. If you haven't heard it search this cover out.

[atticus18244fss]

Well its completely quiet than this guy starts yelling at me. I thought they were just going to do some pop punk cover. They should have a warning. I actually went back and relistened. The chrous' are fine but god damn...

I totally agree, now that ive heard the song 4768493 times im used to it but every person i show it to is taken back at first. After the 1:30 mark the song is more of an easy listen and the very end, where the drummer is singing, the chorus is actually pretty poppy.

[oddwithoutend]

This was much better than I expected:

the vocalist from Confide, Ross Kenyon along with the band, A Midsky Surrender has a relatively new cover of Kiss Me Through The Phone by Soulja Boy.

2090LcqNX_Q

It may be because I have an unhealthy obsession with these ladies, but it's sooo good.

[ate_teenfourevr]

tegan + sara = doo doo

this is even a million times better than that

[cshadows2887]

The Starting Line - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

[BigG1392]

I'm not a big fan of covers, but I really enjoyed A Day To Remember's cover of "Over My Head (Cable Car)". Also, Chiodos version of "Flagpole Sitta" was very good.

[oddwithoutend]

Also, Chiodos version of "Flagpole Sitta" was very good.
haha I'd probably mark this one down as the worst cover I've ever heard.

[CalIsARealBoy]

Frank Turner's cover of Dancing Queen by Abba! Should be terrible but is awesome haha!

[Macbeth.]

ADTR - since you been gone
ADTR - over my head
Of Mice & Men - pokerface
Blink - letters to elise
Reel Big Fish - take on me

[roisterboy]

I really liked Quietdrive's version of "Time after Time."
Iron & Wine's cover of "Such Great Heights" is very good too.

[onepartloss]

It's hard to say best ever.

I usually shy away from Beatles covers, since they always pale in comparison to the originals - but that Thrice one was pretty solid. Mae's was weak, though. Thrice's Helter Skelter cover also linked to Dustin Kensrue covering Hospital Beds by Cold War Kids, and I'm thoroughly enjoying that at the moment.

I will say, though, that Confide cover is complete fucking garbage.

[jbertclassic]

Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like Heaven (The Cure)

Hopefully this has been mentioned previously

Have you heard the House of Heroes EP where they cover Beatles songs? They're some of the better ones that I've heard.

Talking of Tegan & Sara I really like this cover of Dark Come Soon

[BearGrr]

Goldfingers 99 Red Balloons originally by Nena, shits classic. Also Ryan Adams & The Cardinals version of Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains. Very cool take on it.

[413punkguy]

Hell yeah 413 !

[413punkguy]

Gallows- Starting at the rude boys(The Ruts)
Nervous Breakdown(Black Flag)

[only the clouds]

Agree with all the love for Thrice's "Helter Skelter" cover. My favorite cover ever though is Jesse Lacey's treatment of "Accident Prone" by Jawbreaker. Dear You is one of my favorite albums of all time and the totally stripped-down version of that song sounds really cool.

[Mibabalou]

this thread if full of terrible covers and a few gems

[JustLove]

My intense man crush on John Mayer is only fueled more by his cover of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'"

[SofiaHxC]

Reliant K - Manic Monday
New Found Glory - Kiss Me

Berlin Project's cover of Gin and Juice is fun as s Four Year Strong's Love Song. Hopefully, its still floating around on the internet but Blink 182's cover of Dancing with Myself is also good. Billy Idol and Blink 182!

[Carolina.Alex]

gangstas paradise - in fear and faith

They've done one of the best covers of them that I've heard. They're a great band!

[oliviaemmer]

Far-Pony


Good god, this!

[bstthngunvrhd7]

Good god, this!

It's a pretty hot song ;)--I always thought that Ginuwine's was good but then I heard this and I totally prefer Far's version a helluva lot better.

[MrOctober430]

Yeah. I love it. Jonah does really awesome covers. He does a version of Beyonce's "Irreplacable" that is pretty unbeatable.

[bstthngunvrhd7]

Yeah. I love it. Jonah does really awesome covers. He does a version of Beyonce's "Irreplacable" that is pretty unbeatable.

I'll have to check that out--I don't like the song 'Irreplacable' but I like it when other people sing it.

[donwagenblast]

I think John Mayer's "Free Fallin" is the best I've ever heard.

[cshadows2887]

I'll have to check that out--I don't like the song 'Irreplacable' but I like it when other people sing it.

Yeah me either. But there's a youtube video of him playing at a show in Boston I was at. Phenomenal.
