I think a lot of people write FIDLAR off as just another druggie skatepunk band but they're actually really ****ing great. I have no idea why they don't release the songs they have on their youtube channel.

Gemini Five - "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" is a good one, plus I agree with previous posts regarding Johnny Cash - "Hurt" and Metallica - "Whiskey in the Jar" plus most of the Tori Amos covers album ("Strange Little Girls") where she tackles Slayer, Depeche Mode, 10cc, etc.

The Wildhearts covers album "Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before - Vol. 1" is a corker and I think the W.A.S.P. cover of Jethro Tull's song "Locomotive Breath" is better, but it's all subjective isn't it?

Megadeth flying through "Paranoid" originally recorded by Black Sabbath isn't bad and I've grown to enjoy Motörhead (Feat. Biff Byford - from Saxon) performing "Starstruck" originally by Rainbow.

One more cup of coffee by Bob Dylan. I like the White Stripes cover better.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Zeppelin

The Joan Baez version makes me want to kill something.

It's funkier and Screamin' Jay is just a god at singing.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's better than the original but it's a surprisingly decent cover. the rhythm section is on point the problem is Rivers can't compete with Thom's vocals.

That Also applies to Diamonds and Rush by Judas Priest. In fact pretty much anything by Joan Baez is done better by whoever covers it.

Do you know this one?

No, but that was great. :yeah:



Ive been listening to this Alison todd girl all day, her covers of Rodrigo & Gabriela songs are so good i prefer some of them over the originals.

Two great songs bettered by Sandie Shaw from the same album, Reviewing the Situation (1969) - the second one a CD bonus (sadly skipped that fact!)



No disrespect to the original, but Sandie's version is great. Maybe I'm rating her voice better than Robert's in my opinion...



Just her alone adds more to Paul McCartney's song. The "Special Effect" toilet flushing at the end might have been something to do with the Ecology, don't know.
