You all should check out www.secondhandsongs.com . Its a database devoted to song covers, good for figuring out who has covered a particular song, when, and who wrote the original, how many times a song has been sampled, what songs the sample it appears in, and a whole bunch more information regarding covers. Great resource!

both the white stripes "jolene" and "i just dont know what to do with myself" are good covers.

Nirvana- The Man Who Sold the World

David Bowie being the original of course.

Imonlydancing · 06-16-2005, 02:22 PM

well, duh. yeah, that was a good cover. Rage did the whole of renegades pretty well.

^Agreed. Another entire album full of good covers is Metallica's Garage Inc. Granted, their original material and pre-haircut songs are best, but they did a kick ass cover of Hank Williams' "Tuesday's Gone". (It even had John Popper of Blues Traveler on the harmonica.)

Yeah Whisky in the Jar is a great cover.
