Favorite Cover Songs

Post by Adrian »

Pretty self-explanatory.

I love Accept, and while the original is better (especially the solo), this is a perfect cover song for Amon Amarth. I love Johan Hegg's vocals.

Here's another. I think I just really like when harder/faster bands supercharge a mellow song without parodying it.

The White Stripe's live version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" is amazing. Love all of his other covers too, mostly Son House.
Tool's version of Led Zepplin's "No Quarter"
the Decemberists did a MEAN version of Heart's "Crazy on You" with Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and the chick from Lavender Diamond on vox. chills.
Limp Bizkit's version of George Michael's "Faith" (search your feelings, you know it to be true.)
STP's version of Led Zepplin's "Dancing Days"
