Listening to a few covers today and thought I’d ask what Spiceworks thought were some of the better covers done by various bands, anyone you think really made the cover their own, or think the cover is better? Worse? Tell me what ya think.

Since it sparked my desire to create the thread, I’ll lead off with Between The Buried And Me covering Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

And just to mess with you.

I was very impressed, and I am very picky when someone covers Queen!

Sadly, she passed away back in the 90s. But her music is outstanding.

How about some Type O Negative?

Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence is incredible.

I’d also go with:

Wild Horse - The Sundays (Original by The Rolling Stones)

Mad World - Gary Jules (Original by Tears For Fears)

Am I Evil - Metallica (Original by Diamond Head)

Just last night I heard another cover (not the first time I’ve heard it, but it slipped my mind.)

Stone Sour (feat Lzzy Hale) - Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones)

Sad. Here’s a great atricle in case anyone else was as struck as I was by her talent:
