[Secret Agent Vomit]

The Offspring - "I Wanna Be Sedated" - The Ramones

The Presidents of the USA - "Video Killed the Radio Star" - The Bugles(?)

Those are the only two I can think of. :(

[Schimid]

MxPx - Take On Me - Ah-Ha!

[Les Waste]

Oh shit. I forgot that some of the best Clash songs were covers.

The Clash - I fought the Law - Bobby Fuller

The Clash - Revolution Rock - Danny Ray

The Clash - Police and Thieves - Junior Murvin

The Clash - Junco Partner - It's a folk song, but various jazz musicians in the 30's and Joe Strummers R&B band before the Clash, The 101er's. :(

There are probably more that I can't remember. The Clash used to do a lot of covers of really, really old reggae songs.

And Joe Strummer used to do a great live cover of The Pogues's "If I should Fall From Grace with God."

:(

[Rongi]

Revolution Rock is a cover :(?

[Les Waste]

Yeah, but they changed it a lot. The original version was done a long time ago as a reggae song. It's really slow and all the words are different. Also, you can tell which lyrics were added to the Clash version just by listening to it. The only lyrics in the original version were the chorus and those two weird little singing parts that start "Careful how you move, mack you stick me in the pack, and I'm so pilled up right now," and "Careful how you slide, Clyde, all you do is glide, 'n pour your beer in me hat." Except the words are different

I forgot another one. Police on my Back was originally done by the Equals, who were Eddie Grant's band back in the day. He later got famous for the song "Electric Avenue."

:(

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Isn't "Armagideon Time" a cover too? Thats one of the best.

[Geggy]

Song covers are bullshit and should be illegal.

[Jixby Phillips]

Yo La Tengo - Dreaming - Blondie
The Pixies - Wild Honey Pie - The Beatles

Fuck, all the Pixies covers: Head On, Winterlong, In Heaven, Uhhh, I think there's more.

[ShanghaiOrange]

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower - Bob Dylan
The Rolling Stones - Love In Vain - Robert Johnson
Ramblin' Rose - MC5 - I don't know
Polkas on 45 - Weird Al - Et Al

[DecapitatedHate]

Scary German Guy - Suicide Note Part 2 - Pantera

[Les Waste]

Isn't "Armagideon Time" a cover too? Thats one of the best.
I don't think so. That really is one of their best. And I don't think anyone else has done it because it's such a good song that if someone did it before it would have been a big enough hit for me to have known about it.

:(

[kellychaos]

Somebody help me out here. There was an R&B/rock singer (possibly Lenny Kravitz) that did an excellent cover of Bob Marley's "(I Don't Want To) Wait In Vain". Am I right on who it was?

[Teenage_Zombie138]

even in black outs hey surburbia screeching weasel

[kellychaos]

Stevie Ray Vaughn Voodoo Chile Jimmi Hendrix

[NOTINAGAYWAY]

The Offspring - "I Wanna Be Sedated" - The Ramones

WTF? It sounded way too much like the original in my opinion. On the other hand, Rancid's sped-up "Sheena" and Rob Zombie doing "Blitzkrieg Bop" made me touch myself. Like when I was watching the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle trailer.

[Skulhedface]

Mr. Bungle "We Are The Champions" Queen

Pantera "Cat Scratch Fever" Ted Nugent

Motorhead "Enter Sandman" Metallica- Motorhead's version was MUCH MUCH better.

Six Feet Under "Sweet Leaf" Black Sabbath

Mr. Bungle Super Mario Bros. :lol Nintendo? *shrug*

[Helm]

Tori Amos's cover of that silly Slayer song is pretty good.

[Sethomas]

To fuck with the jasta color scheme.

Rammstein - Das Modell - Kraftwerk
Stone Temple Pilots - Dancing Days - Led Zeppelin
Die Toten Hosen - Pushed Again - I'm not sure
Snake River Conspiracy - How Soon is Now? - The Smiths

[pjalne]

Tori Amos's cover of that silly Slayer song is pretty good.

Raining blood. Yeah, it's good. As is her version of Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat.

I was going to say Dimmu Borgir with Burn in Hell to reduce the fag factor, but Kelly already said it. Hmmm... Kovenant's version of Babylon Zoo's Space Man kicks ass. There.

[Ninjavenom]

Dimmu Borgir - Burn in Hell - Twisted Sister

>:

[The Retro Kat]

Megadeth - Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols


I thought that cover sounded bad, but hey,its opinionated.
