I hate Britney Spears's version of My Perogative [original by Bobby Brown if I'm not mistaken]

The Fugees' Killing Me Softly was a good cover.


anything Britney covers is horrific and is blasphemy towards music in general tongue2.gif
i think Lauren hill's voice made it her own
Tamia's cover of Careless whispers was even better than George michaels
Az yet's cover of hard to say im sorry in accapella, was simply heaven blush.gif

children of bodom's cover of britney spear's oops i did it again made me pretty happy


i also like their cover for "Final Countdown". only because i thought it owned the original so much lol. the original is so goofy. i can't help but laugh and roll on the floor when i hear the original. hahahahah.

i also think A Perfect Circle's "Imagine" was a good John Lennon cover. it sounds a lot more darker which is very different from the original, i think.

One of the most amusing covers I've heard was Ben Fold's melodic rendition of Dr. Dre's "B**ches Aint S**t".

Liked:
Baby one more time - Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa
Killing me softly- The Fugees
It must have been love- Happy Hour
Tainted Love/ Where did our love go?- Soft Cell

Hated:
Jessica Simpson's covers of "These boots (were made for walking)" and "Take my breath away"
Frankie J's "More than words"
Maroon 5's "Highway to hell"


My avatar is NOT a picture of me, that's Nishikido Ryo. And yes, he is hot.

i think...

The Ataris - Boys of Summer was a great cover of Don Henley's hit.

Especially the changing of Deadhead to Black Flag stick on a cadillac. Nice touch there.

wrong.

jeff buckley did make hallelujah famous, but his is a cover of leonard cohen's as well! but jeff buckley's is great.


Yes, Buckley sings it like it's his own. So pretty.

I also like Buckley's cover of The Smiths' "I Know It's Over."

Also, MUSE does mean covers of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" and The Animals' (?) "House of the Rising Sun."


Covers I dislike:

Every cover of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" and Neutral Milk Hotel's "In an Airplane Over the Sea." 'Cos I'm anal like that. And Death Cab's cover of The Smiths' "This Charming Man" is pretty horrible.

BEST:
paul dempsey (Something For Kate) and Kate Miller-Heidke - careless whispers by Wham! (Youtube it. it's from an Australian show called Rockwiz...)
Noel Gallagher - to be someone by The Jam - all Noel aocustics are just incredible

BUT, the BEST just has to go to Arctic Monkeys and their cover of 'Love Machine' by Girls Aloud. funny, and just plain awesome.

WORST:
Lily Allen's cover of the Kaiser Chief song 'Oh My God' for that Mark Ronson album. she murdered it. leave the vocals to Ricky, love.
and there are a lot more out there, but i don't really want to remember them. they're all so cringe-worthy.

I LOVE these covers:

Rufus Wainwright: Hallelujah
Tori Amos: Love Song
Sarah McLachlan (sp?): Blackbird
Fiona Apple: Across the Universe
Nickel Creek: Spit on a Stranger; When You Come Back Down
The Fugees: Killing Me Softly
Phantom Planet: Somebody's Baby
Mariah Carey: I'll be There

I don't like:
Tori Amos: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Avril Lavigne: Imgaine
Iron and Wine: Such Great Heights (I think I'm one of the few who realllly favors the original)
Everclear: Brown Eyed Girl

Ah, I definitely prefer the original version of Such Great Heights, but I really like the Iron & Wine cover...

I've already said this, but Mat Weddle's cover of Hey Ya is amazing.
