I don't know about anyone else, but I am a sucker for covers of songs, especially if it is an acoustic cover!

I was just curious about what are some of your favorite songs (or not so favorite songs) that have been covered that you really like!

I made a whole thread of em (:

Well now I don't know what to do...

I've got some more, but I can't remember/quickfind them now.

Does anyone ever listen to those Punk Goes Acoustic/Punk Goes Crunk/etc. cds?

Matt Nathanson's version of Laid

Last Kiss - Pearl Jam (original J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers)
The Boys Of Summer - The Ataris (original Don Henley)
Knockin on Heaven's Door - Eric Clapton (original Bob Dylan)

The Built to Spill cover of Neil Young's Cortez the Killer I posted recently in the listening topic. Marilyn Manson's I Put a Spell on You. Reel Big Fish doing Take on Me. Smashing Pumpkins doing Landslide. Reliant K doing Toto's Africa. Fear Factory doing Cars. Dope doing You Spin Me Round.

In Flames doing Iron Maiden's Murders in the Rue Morgue. Cradle of Filth (terrible band) doing another Iron Maiden song, Hallowed Be Thy Name. White Zombie trying Sabbath's Children of the Grave. GWAR channeling Alice Cooper and doing School's Out. Metallica doing the entire Mercyful Fate album.

I love a cover song. Don't think any of them are acoustic, though.

Oh and Primus doing Amos Moses from the San Andreas soundtrack changed the world as I know it.

I love Landslide by Smashing Pumpkins!!

I found a band Boyce Avenue that does covers and I'm really enjoying his music and the take on the songs.

Yes Smashing Pumpkins Landslide and Reel Big Fish Take On Me. Was also a fan of Limp Bizkit covering Faith and Aerosmith Come Together.

Oh yeah another one. Cake covering I Will Survive

Mad World - Gary Jules
Hurt - Johnny Cash

although in those cases the covers might be more well-known than the originals
