best covers

[Crabby Shrimper]

Ok, in light of the recent thread highlighting some shocking musical faux pas', I felt there should be a thread for some of the better cover versions of songs.

To start us off....

Suicide is painless - Manic Street Preachers

Black magic woman - Santana

Walk on by - The Stranglers

 

[Alexis_SUFC]

Shinedown's version of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic Simple Man is amazing so that gets my vote for the best.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Angels - Robbie Williams :p glasgow;)

Is that a cover?
I thought it had his slimy hands all over it.

not sure i remember seeing and hearing the song on an album sung by engleburt humperdink and just assumed it had been stolen. anyone know the truth? great song anyway

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

[GrimmRobes]

Slayer - In-a-Gadda-da-vida

[Crabby Shrimper]

How could I forget, a cover version that's a classic purely for being nigh on unbelievable...


Stayin' Alive - Ozzy Osbourne

 

[canveyshrimper]

Slayer - In-a-Gadda-da-vida

I'll have to check that out, it will go a long way to be as good as Iron Butterfly.

 

[scrounger]

Damn, reading the thread title I thought there would be a topic on the interesting and varied sex life of fellow SZer's.

 

[Leeboy]

Happy Mondays version of Stayin' Alive ( B-side of Sunshine & Love pop pickers )

 

[SUFC_Al]

I'll have to check that out, it will go a long way to be as good as Iron Butterfly.

It's pretty cool version actually!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Metallica's cover of 'Whisky In The Jar' is pretty darn good, although not as great as Thin Lizzy's original.

I like Metallica's 'So What'by the Anti-Nowhere League.

I'd forgotten about that one, never fails to make me chuckle when I hear it!
