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

I liked Marilyn Manson's covers of "Sweet Dreams" and "tainted Love."
