Very ill-advised: the kind of people who actually like the original will absolutely fight you. Hope you're prepared for hand combat against fiftysomething bodybuilders and boxing trainers from the former Soviet republics.

Ok so my second entry in thread is again RATM related but via Bruce Springsteen (it's a Bruce day for me). I just heard the original for the first time and it's a beautiful song. Rage's version is just (obviously) much more powerful. They really took it to another dimension.






Also, are rock bands that kick this much ass a thing of the past now? Sigh.

Sadly yes

Two covers that take pop classics to a more abstract plain, successfully

Damn

That Beatles cover is amazing

Yep, top 10 ever in my book

This was around the time of her first album, which was great, and then things kinda got less interesting as they so often do

Take/2 on Youtube has some great covers. This is one of my favorites

I think any cover of any Bob Dylan song sounds better than the original...
