I think that Pearl Jam's cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is great- much better than the normally fantastic U2!

Whiskey in the jar
original an old Irish folksong I think, then Thin Lizzy covered it in the '70s
but the best version did Metallica, it's a great song
Yeah Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar is great, I guess it's technically a cover even though like all those old drinking songs no two recordings of it are alike. They didn't do "Tuesday's Gone" half bad, either.
One of my favorites is the Goldfinger ska cover of 99 Luftballoons. The Smashmouth cover of I'm a Believer is a lot better than the "original" Monkees version (nothing they ever did was truly original)

Sesquipedalian -- a really cool word. It means long-winded, polysyllabic, or verbose. See the word describes itself...isn't that neat?

My favs
- "Crossroads" - originally by Robert Johnson, redone by Cream
- "Hotel California" - orignally by the Eagles, redone by Pennywise (not near as good, but still pretty good)
- "I Shot the Sherrif" - originally by Bob Marley, redone by Eric Clapton
- "99 Red Baloons" - not sure who did it originally, but redone by both Goldfinger and AFI
I'm hopin u do realize that Clapton was the lead guitarist and vocalist for Derek and the Domino's, right? so it's really not a remake, he just did an acoustic version of itOriginally Posted by henk4

Turn the page by Bob Segar redone by metallica, one of my favorites from metallica.

Johnny Cash's Burning Ring of Fire redone by Social Distortion
Guns N Roses My Michelle redone by AFI
The Smiths How Soon Is Now redone by the Meatmen
Some punk band has a good remake of "The Land Down Under" by Men at Work but I can't think of which band it is.
Awesome remake man. It's from Pennywise I have it.Originally Posted by NAZCA C2
Thanks Niko, I've been trying to think of that band all day.

other way around buddy, clapton made it first, then bob marley..
Blue Suede Shoes - either Black Sabbath or Motorhead versions work just fine
Pink Panther by nofx.
Crossroads done by Cream is great, but Robert Johnsons original is just incredible.Originally Posted by lithuanianmafia
Well...
Day tripper, covered by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, is great.
All Along the watchtower, also covered by them.
Please come crawl out your window, also covered by them
The Sky Is Crying, covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Little Wing, covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Red, Red wine covered by UB40, I think it was a Neil Diamond original?
Me and Bobby Mcgee, written by Kris Kristopherson (sp?), covered by Janis Joplin (Although I think Kris actually wrote it for her)
Hendrix does a pretty good version of Sunshine of your love aswell.
There are more, but yeah... I have nothing against covers as long as they're done well. And Hendrix's covers are the best quality you can get.
Black Betty by Ram Jam, then redone by Spiderbait.
Ram Jam's one is actually a cover as well, it was written by Leadbelly in the '20's or 30s.Originally Posted by Revolution
Any of the traditional folk tunes the Dropkick Murphy's play are great, Less Than Jake's takes on We Go Together fropm Grease and We're Not Gonna Take It are awesome, the Offsprings cover of AFI's Totalimmortal is very good, Area 7 has recorded covers of I Want To Break Free and Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again (No way, get ****ed, **** off). One of the best cover's I've heard is Bodyjar's cover of Hazy Shade of Winter. As for kick arse ska covers, you canb't go past Save Ferris doing Come on Eileen and of course RBF doing Take on Me. And for live covers, download Pennywise cover Blitzgreig Bop off their website, The Living End play Tainted Love live all the time and a band I saw on saturday night called Unpaid Debt did an f'ing rocking cover of Ruby Soho
Yes-No Oppurtunity Necessary, No Experience Needed

Les Claypool-Pink Floyd's Animals (entire album)
Chicago-I'm A Man
Surprisingly all that comes to mind right now...
