Forgot one of the best covers of recent times - Hurt by Johnny Cash... Took an old NIN song in a way new direction.

 

Matt Weddle - Hey Ya its an accoustic version of Outkasts song

 

I'm a fan of Bed Fold's cover of "B!tches Aint ****".....Makes me smile everytime I hear it.

 

Ben Folds FTW - I love Dog.

On a side note, when I was under my rents' grasps they forced me to go to church. One morning the pastor decided to play hurt and tie it in to his sermon somehow... I wasn't really paying attention. Afterwards my mum was going off on how beautiful the song was and how well it worked with the message he was talking about. After listening to her go I said "Mum, you know that's a NIN song right". :O Not huh... you're wrong. XD Oh silly silly. One of my favourites is probably 'Knockin' on heaven's door' by GNR. One of the worst - when that dumb country girl decided to ruin sweet child of mine.

 

+1... Or (along the same vein), Phish's cover of "Gin 'N Juice"

 

^+1
i always love to listen to that song

 

I am pretty convinced that most songs from the 60's just came 30-40 years too early! Me First has some great covers... and I like the first Cover album New Found Glory did of Movie themes. Wizzo did a great version of Ace of Bass - All That She Wants... normally a gay song, but it's German punk - it's gottta be good.
