We've all heard shitty covers of some of our favorite songs, by all these crappy, new-age bands that make us think they've ruined its original sound forever. But there are those few good ones. Which are your favorites?
I have two, the first is the cover of Simon and Garfunkle's "Sound of Silence." It completely twists the original and adds a very eerie feel to it, without cheapening it like so many modern bands do. I love the original, but this one is completely different. Also like the cover/reformation of "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals, which was originally a folk song about a girl in a whorehouse. -------------------- "So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God. So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath. So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as 'the soul.' So I hit him. What would you do?" -- Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan

Oh Vega, then you must be familiar with Coil's cover of "Tainted Love". It's a very somber version of the 1984 hit by Soft Cell. I love industrial cover songs, let me think of a few more off hand. Nine Inch Nail's version of "Suck", originally performed by Pigface comes to mind. Electric Hellfire Club's rendition of the Pink Floyd classic "Lucifer Sam". Godflesh doing AC/DC's "For those about to Rock" was a heavy grinding bulldozer of a cover.
There are just so many I could go on and on. |
