For the "worst" cover thread, I'd start off with Coal Chamber (featuring Ozzy) performing "Shock The Monkey".
Yessir, nothing says "world music" like alternative metal.

Loses a lot of the "mysterious" sound when SOAD does it.

Couldn't agree more. Beyond brutal. That entire Coal Chamber album should be buried in the desert like the Atari "E.T." game.For the "worst" cover thread, I'd start off with Coal Chamber (featuring Ozzy) performing "Shock The Monkey".Yessir, nothing says "world music" like alternative metal.

You've probably heard this cover, but in case you haven't, and you're a Jawbox fan :I still like the original better, but it's a pretty faithful and tasty cover.

I prefer the version with just Dylan and his guitar. And the version from the 30th Anniversary Concert surpasses the Byrds version.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4UcaLHaabY

You should not only be IP banned for this, you should be dipped in honey and staked out to an anthill.

So true.On a side note, medium aristotle called me and told me had a print of the Mona Lisa that pans out far enough that you can see a guy waggling his penis at her, so the smile is much more authentic in his copy.

I strongly disagree, but her recent record is freaking fantastic.

Same here until about a month ago and the BC version came on while I was driving my old man around and he said the OR version is much better. Came home, gave it a listen and the old guy was almost rightI had no idea that it was an Ottis Redding song

Saw an earlier mention of the Judas Priest cover of Joan Baez' 'Diamonds and Rust'. Helluva cover. 'The Green Manalishi (with the two-pronged crown)' is a Fleetwood Mac song, also covered, and tremendously well, IMO, by Judas Priest, to the point where not many folks even associate that song with Fleetwood Mac...
Blackie Lawless, frontman of the band W.A.S.P. is a HUGE fan of The Who, and has covered several of their songs. I'm a big fan of both bands, but I enjoy the W.A.S.P. versions better, especially 'The Real Me' and '(I don't need no) doctor'...
Hard rock band Keel does a decent job with 'Because The Night'...

Not usually a fan of the "all star" jam sessions ... but that KILLED. McGuinn is so solid, can see the reverence he has for Bob/this tune ... didn't even notice Harrison 'til about the 3 minute mark, and he shines brightest of them all (imo) ... oh, and Neil Young's solo >>>>>>>>>> Clapton's. Wow.

Another one I love by them is
Aaron Lewis has done terrific acoustic covers. I wouldn't say better than the original, but still great versions:
Aaron Lewis - Piano Man (Billy Joel)

On board w/this ... love the original, but Orgy amped it up wonderfullyI personally like Orgy's version of Blue Monday better than New Order's. Not sure anyone else likes either.

I'll bring this over from the other thread...
I'll have to add one of my favorite Springsteen songs to see live...both YouTube versions linked here are live as well.
Trapped - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band over Jimmy Cliff
"Trapped" - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
"Trapped" - Jimmy Cliff
I'm assuming it qualifies for this thread as Springsteen's version has been released a few times - first on the "We Are the World" benefit album (1985) as well as Springsteen's own The Essential Bruce Springsteen on the third disc of the Limited Edition.
++++
My other add would be "Smokin' In The Boys Room" - Motley Crue over Brownsville Station
"Smokin' In The Boys Room" (Video Remake)k - Motley Crue
"Smokin' In The Boys Room" (Original) - Brownsville Station
Brownsville Station's charted higher, but Motley's version is played much more frequently. Crue was in their prime here...

Not sure if this counts as a true cover: "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, covering Neil Diamond.
Per Wikipedia*, Neil recorded the song first, but didn't release it until after the Monkees had. Since the Monkees' version was heard first (and became a monster hit), this doesn't quite fit the traditional cover scenario.
* Assuming the info is correct
