Who has done the best cover of a song? (2 Viewers)

[PaddyPaddy]

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

 

[jules.09]

Mad World - Gary Jules (although I really like Tears for Fears)

I disagree with the OP, Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love was the best version.

There's Helter Skelter by Dana Fuchs from Across the Universe which was pretty good in itself too.

 

[cactuar]

mansons version of tainted love is fucking shit

 

[de__locke]

^ agreed
Um. there's heaps
dark globe - brian molko [of syd barrett from pink floyd]
diamond dogs - beck [of david bowie]
bigmouth strikes again - placebo [of the smiths]

[ascentyx]

Apocalyptica - nothing else matters. no vocals but so fucking good.

YouTube - nothing else matters

 

[Riet]

Apocalyptica - nothing else matters. no vocals but so fucking good.

YouTube - nothing else matters

ugh so lame.
This is better:
YouTube - Dj Zany & MC DV8 - Nothing else matters

hardstyle in 3/4 time fuck yeah

 

[Charizard]

In terms of adapting it to a different genre i guess it's ok, but its still pretty gash.

 

[AsyLum]

ugh so lame.
This is better:
YouTube - Dj Zany & MC DV8 - Nothing else matters

[d3vilz]

Boyce Avenue - Viva la Vida

 

[Silent_Sniper]

"careless whisper" - Seether

 

[funk1234]

children of bodom - oops i did it again

best fucking cover hands down, its just funny as all hell

 

[Absolutezero]

^^Look up Ten Masked Men. They're got some great Death Metal covers, such as:
Thriller - MJ
Blue - Eifel 65
Livin' La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio

 

[David Spade]

they sounds incredibly gay


the offspring - pretty fly for a white guy

 

[gloom]

Adam Lambert- Mad World.

I dont normally like Idol covers, but this one was rather good.

 

[spagbowl]

jeff buckley's cover of hallelujah is my favourite, followed up by all along the watch tower. Then probably Gary jules cover of mad world.
