Your favorite covers

[mayhamandeggs]

I was inspired to create this thread because I was just listening to a cover of "Afternoon Delight" by a band called Van Atta High. It was effing HILARIOUS and awesome, dudes. However, my favorite cover over all is one that my band does; we awesomely cover Boston's "More Than A Feeling". Okay, that's it from me for now; NEXT!

Captain Obvious all up in this thread. I was poking fun at the thread starter for actually saying one of his favorite covers was by his own band. Oh lulz.

[c_rob2700]

Actually I'm wrong, Cash's American Recordings all had covers on them but weren't complete cover albums

[bombsquadjunky]

Metallica - Whiskey in the jar, bad ass cover!

Mad World - Gary Jules


Whiskey in the Jar was a great cover, and their cover of Turn the Page was great too

And Gary Jules did a good cover, but Evergreen Terrace's cover of Mad World was AMAZING

This probably doesn't count, but a local band called Graves I saw a few weeks ago did a cover of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". So fucking awesome. They put a breakdown in it and everything.

That would be pretty cool. Rebel Yell is a great song in the first place though, so it's hard to find a cover that does it justice.
