Thread: What Songs Should Be Covered?

  1. #1

    Default What Songs Should Be Covered?

    When a song is covered it means another artist plays (or remixes) the song.
    Songs that should be covered?
    My Hero (Foo Fighters) should be covered by Crush 40
    When I'm Awake (Magna-Fi) should be covered by Foo Fighters
    Why Can't This Be Love (Van Halen) should be covered by Powerman 5000

    Even though it already exists, Rise Against did a nice cover of "Fix Me", originally by Black Flag. Well, in my opinion at least. Sublime also did a cover "We're Only Gonna Die", originally by Bad Religion. Pretty great.
    But for now, I don't feel that any song needs to be covered.

    Listen to "Blue Monday" by New Order. Then, listen to the same song by Orgy.

    IMO, the Original was definitely better, but Toploader did a good job.

    There are a lot of really famous covers that people just don't realise are covers.

    Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah is a cover,
    Johnny Cash - Hurt is a cover,
    Youth Group - Forever Young is a cover,
    Natalie Imbruglia - Torn is a cover,
    Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower is a cover,
    Santana - Black Magic Woman is a cover,
    Black Sabbath - Evil Woman is a cover,
    Elvis Presley - Blue Swede Shoes is a cover,
    Lynyrd Synyrd - Call Me the Breeze is a cover,
    Eric Clapton - Cocaine is a cover,
    Eric Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff is a cover,
    Motorhead - Motorhead is a cover,
    Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust is a cover,
    Anthrax - Antisocial is a cover,
    Metallica - Am I Evil? is a cover,
    Van Halen - You Really Got Me is a cover,
    Aerosmith - Train Kept Rollin' is a cover,
    Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the Noize is a cover,
    RHCP - Higher Ground is a cover,
    The Clash - I Fought the Law is a cover,
    Soft Cell - Tainted Love is a cover,
    Elvis Presley - Hound Dog is a cover,
    Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You is a cover,
    The Animals - House of the Rising Sun is a cover,
    The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man is a cover...

    I could go on and on and on and on.. You get the picture.

    (Sorry if I ruined any of your lives, that was a lot of covers to blow).

    Remember what you said about being a friend now?

    How do you wake?
    How do you sleep at night?
    Remember what you said

    Not all of those bands/artists I like, they're just artists/bands I know of that have famous covers.

    I don't like Anthrax, Metallica, RHCP and The Clash out of that list.
