Re: The 'Great Cover' Official Thread
My top five covers:
5. Sun City Girls - The Shining Path (Kaoma)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COBjxhmm7Wo
4. Ulver - Solitude (Black Sabbath)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXl4znQZOpw
3. The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (Bob Dylan)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmdPQp6Jcdk
(Sure, it's a traditional tune, but from what I recall if it hadn't been for Dylan, Eric Burdon might never have heard it, so I think it counts.)
2. Alive She Died - She's Lost Control (Joy Division)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGXXOQVEQsw
1. Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZTPsrcfQSE
(Yeah, sometimes Captain Obvious just has to strike.)
And a few others that deserve mention:
A Place to Bury Strangers - Suffragette City (David Bowie) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hebF0fBIst8
Spacemen 3 - Starship (Sun Ra / The MC5) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFp9nJbnRfk

Talking about Hendrix : also Howlin Wolf's "Killing Floor".
The intro guitar riff is ... well, no words good enough for it.![Kiss :-*](./images/smilies/kiss.gif)

Can't believe that one hasn't been mentioned yet. It's funny how cheesy the original sounds, especially after listing to his version.LanceLink wrote:Though not a huge fan of the original... I could listen to this cover every day and it would still make me shiver... very moving...

Infinitely better than CSNY's cover, but the original is still my favorite.egosheep wrote:Matthew's Southern Comfort has the best version of Woodstock, hands down.noisepunk wrote:I was prepared to hate this (can't stand CSNY), and I don't, but I still think the original is far better and plenty bad-ass on it's own.eskmsaul wrote:

Re: The 'Great Cover' Official Thread
speaking of Nirvana covers, Deer Tick playing as Deervana is a pretty awesome thing.
