I'm all in with:

Pearl Jam-Masters of War

What beats me?

 

[Mr. Ected]

The Sundays

Wild Horses

 

[Evilgrin 72]

As big a PJ fan as you're going to find, but Hendrix's "Watchtower" is the pocket aces of covers.

Johnny Cash's "Hurt" is a pair of 10s. Looks good at a glance, then you put it in play and realize you're sunk.

 

[Apple Jack]

Hendrix's "Watchtower" is the pocket aces of covers.

This. And I've only heard EV and McCready do Masters of War, from Bob Fest in 1992. Do they do a full band version live?

When the OP came out, I looked it up on YouTube and found this one from the Letterman Show in '04. Not sure if it is the full band though.

 

[got_nugs]

Yeah,I'm gonna need runner-runner to beat Watchtower. I saw DMB, kravitz and a sprinkle of Paul Simon do it at jazz fest one year. I forgot about Hendrix though.

The Sundays

Won't link from my phone, I'll check it out tonight.

My wife raised preflop with smashing pumpkins landslide but I think she's in trouble.

 

[Mr. Ected]

The Sundays

Great cover of a Stones song. Plus the lead singer looks quite a bit better than Mick Jagger!!!

 

[Evilgrin 72]

By the way, if you want to hear some truly great covers, check out Six Feet Under on youtube. Death metal outfit with hundreds of cover tunes, absolutely hilarious to hear some of these songs covered in this way.

 

[BroadwayG]

American Pie - Madonna

27o

 

[got_nugs]

At the risk of closing myself in a genre box I'll add that I would see the flop with nirvana - Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam.

Deerhunter does a badass cover in the middle of nothing ever happens at pitchfork but it's only a snippet.

 

[Zow]

Boyz in Da hood - Dynamite Hack

 

[Parmcat]

10J sooted

Feeling Good by Muse

 

[Nipsey]

CSNY Woodstock gotta be big slick

 

[Scoresman]

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Kittie - Run Like Hell

 

[Dan Lambskin]

The Cardigans - Iron Man

 

[Apple Jack]

CSNY Woodstock gotta be big slick

Even added a line that makes it a better song.

 

[Scoresman]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

2-7 offsuit

 

[Controller]

"Love Hurts" by Nazareth deserves mention

 

[Amused to Death]

Black Magic Woman.

Peter Green first wrote it for Fleetwood Mac

Then Santana made it his.

 

[CBusAlex]

I was ready to call with Disturbed's "Shout" (65s) until I caught a glimpse of my neighbors hand, "Land of Confusion" (87s). Although it turned out we were both dominated by Faith No More's "War Pigs" (AQo).

 

[Quint]

"Hit Me Baby One More Time" - Travis

8, 9 off

 

[Mr. Ected]

I'll next take a pair of covers of Peter Gabriel songs.

SR-71 - In Your Eyes

Ray Wilson - Biko

 

[sdp1226]

Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm

Pocket 8s

 

[E Street Brat]

I have no song, but just want to say "Flop the nutz"

 

[Zow]

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

AK here. Strong hand.

 

[IC FBGCav]

I will always love you - Whitney. AA back to back hands.

 

[sdp1226]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

2-7 offsuit

Suited - Fuel

 

[Mr. Ected]

Dave Grohl doing Tiny Dancer by Elton John. Joker.

One of the funniest performances on a late night show. Watch the whole video.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

Please tell me this doesn't really exist.

 

[Scoresman]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

Please tell me this doesn't really exist.

Oh it does, my friend... it does.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

Please tell me this doesn't really exist.

I can't bring myself to click that link. SOAD shouldn't really be covered, period. Especially not by Avril Lavigne.

 

[Scoresman]

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

Please tell me this doesn't really exist.

CLICK IT. JUST DO IT

 

[Evilgrin 72]

OK, I did it. That's not 2-7o, that's an Uncle Wiggily card and a Kevin Maas rookie card.

 

[Mr. Ected]

OK, I did it. That's not 2-7o, that's an Uncle Wiggily card and a Kevin Maas rookie card.

This any better?

 

[Evilgrin 72]

OK, I did it. That's not 2-7o, that's an Uncle Wiggily card and a Kevin Maas rookie card.

It's amusing at least.

 

[17seconds]

OK, I did it. That's not 2-7o, that's an Uncle Wiggily card and a Kevin Maas rookie card.

I love that. Shows what a ridiculous forced-hook song it is

 

[got_nugs]

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

AK here. Strong hand.

Their cover of I put a spell on you is also pretty good, if you're so inclined.

If we decided that the Wonka opening to Portrait of an American Family was a cover song and I was holding that hand I think there may be a pistol shootout at the saloon if someone tried to take the pot.

 

[got_nugs]

oh sweet jesus....my wife found google on the internet....now she's all trying to dance around the table after calling all in with Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 You without even seeing the flop. This won't end well.

 

[Gator Shawn]

This is my favorite cover:

Warren Haynes - One

 

[sdp1226]

Hendrix's "Watchtower" is the pocket aces of covers.

Joe Cocker's "With a little help from my friends" would be pocket kings

 

[rockaction]

Needles and Pins by The Ramones.

Queens.

eta* Who beats pocket queens, in all senses of the word and location, right now?

Hand over the cash.

 

[rockaction]

If I have to beat aces, I'll get it on the river.

Green River - Queen #####, Ain't Nothing to Do.

 

[Anarchy99]

Eric Gales - Voodoo Child

The last 5 or 6 minutes are just great.

How this guy has flown so far under the radar for 25 years is mind boggling.I saw him when he was 17 and he was unbelievable. Lots of good performances of his are on YouTube.

 

[Dark Matter]

Slow playing ya'll...Rusted Root w/ Mick:

You Can't Always Get What You Want

[Mr. Ected]

Always been a big fan of acoustic music, so it's fitting to offer this one from the 1994 Unplugged album by Nirvana.

The Man Who Sold the World

If I remember correctly, many Nirvana fans had never heard the song before, and thought it was a new one by the band.

 

[bryhamm]

Disturbed has a version of Sound of Silence that is pretty damn good.
