Anyone listend to Rage Against the Machines album Renegades? They cover a bunch of songs and they rock, especially How I Could Just Kill A Man, Microphone Fiend and Streetwalking Man. Good stuff.

wow. I think alot of you need to get your heads checked.
first, dylan is god. Never forget this. THERE HAS BEEN NO DYLAN COVER THAT BESTED THE ORIGINAL. there have been some great covers, but...
me first & the gimmie gimmies...they're fun, hillarious, clever...but not great...I'd say the same about richard cheese.
Personally I think:
Iron & wine's such great heights > postal service's (PS version is great, but doesn't give the vocals the deserved attention)
joe cocker's with a little help > beatles'
Townes van zandt's dead flowers > stone's
how about a list of artists that should be strung up by their private parts for the covers they did? my list:
britney spears - satisfaction
madonna - american pie
puff daddy - missing you
dixie chicks - landslide
oh, this list would get so, so long....
You should give it a try anyway. It's a noticeably more modern sound... if you like that. I'm not into ACDC, Maiden, or Black Sabbath, etc. because it sounds too old school for my tastes. Blame it on newer technology ? Not sure...Originally posted by: Maggotry

Cradle of Filth covered this song too. They did an ok job, but Iron Maiden's original is much better. I haven't heard Iced Earth's cover, but I don't like Iced Earth so I probably wouldn't like their cover.

Fixed that for you. Anyone who suggests Cocker's version is better than the original needs to have a baseball bat introduced to their medulla oblongata.
Well, that may be extreme, but come ON.

I say you're wrong. cocker's is better. even the most hardcore beatles fan I've ever met (one of those guys who has all 12 discs of let it be outtakes) has said cocker's is better.
you come ON.

Are you for real?!?!?!?!?!
What about -
Kill 'em All
Ride the Lightning
Master of Puppets
...And Justice for All
There's aboutr 50 songs that KICK ASS. Master of Puppets was the first (and I believe only) Album to make itinto the top 10 with no Radio Air play.

No crap retard... but look at the last 12 years of thier career all crap... black/load/reload/st.anger
last decent album was Justice..
1/3 is a pretty generous ratio...
ever been to a metallica Concert?
ive been to 40... and guess what they play ALOT of cover tunes live as well..
In the past they usally open with SO What... or last Caress and usally have at least 2 other non metallica songs in each set...
And that was a compliment not a slam on metallica retards...
they are the words best cover band.. too bad they forgot how to write thier own good material..

Gary Jules - Mad World
:thumbsup: I love that version. Original was just terrible.
Here are my contributions:
Smashing Pumpkins versions of Landslide (Fleetwood Mac) and You're all Ive Got Tonight (Cars)
Marilyn Manson has a cover of Lennon's Working Class Hero. Im pretty sure the music is exactly the same but Manson's voice is really cool in that song.
I was actually thinking about this about a week ago while driving home. I like it better when a band takes an original and just tweeks it just enough to make it better like in the Smashing Pumkins covers. Its sort of hard to really call something a cover when the 2 songs are totally different. Like All Along the Watchtower...Dylan and Hendrix's versions are totally different songs.
