I think that's Ringo's fault, he's just uncopyable (not a word, but who cares?). The others I'm not so fussed with.

Pretty hard to top a Beatles song but Aerosmiths "I'm Down" and Joe Cocker "With a little help from my freinds" & "She came in through the bathroom window " aren't bad.
Better anyway than whoever does the telecom ads version of "Come together"....ruddy arwful!!!

681594 2008-06-24 10:40:00 Tom Jones and the Cardigans covering Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House". Jones completely massacred the song, and I cringe every time I hear that version. :groan: Lizard (2409)
681595 2008-06-24 19:41:00 Has anyone ever done a decent cover of anything I've never heard one gary67 (56)

681598 2008-06-24 21:32:00 I liked Daytripper by Whitesnake.
But I like heavier versions if anything.

681599 2008-06-24 21:39:00 Peaceville records got their bands to do a cover or two each to celebrate the 10th anniversary. I think the album was called X.

There were some great covers on there.
A nice heavy version of Tears for Fears' Shout.
My Dying Bride did a nice version of Portisheads' Roads, and Some Velvet Morning.

Check it out Rob, you might like it.

681600 2008-06-24 21:40:00 I think I have that somewhere, Disturbed does a few covers, I liked Sepulturas cover of Orgasmatron! rob_on_guitar (4196)
681601 2008-06-24 22:19:00 Does Green Jellys 3 little pigs (www.youtube.com) count as a cover? cause I thought it rocked Morgenmuffel (187)
681602 2008-06-24 22:20:00 Sacrilege, Disturbed and Sepultura should be shot.

That aside, This is what the magazine that started the current debate declared as the worst cover of all time.

Hows this, I reckon its sweet as, If they want to rock out with some AC/DC then good on em, They performed the song in the spirit it was written in.

And as for Anastasia singing that line....mmmmmmmm
