More good cover songs
 

Been a little while since we did this.

I heard Faith No More's version of War Pigs on the way home last night. It's a real kickass version that is true to the Sabbath original.

So post yer favorite cover songs here.

The Ataris version of Don Henleys' "Boys of Summer".

Also, about 10 years ago some band named 10,000 [censored] DJ's did a great cover of Sabbaths' Supernaut- not that that song could ever be improved upon but it was a cool take.

They are censoring the word h o m o? Jesus...

that reminds me of another alternative-like band (name unknown) doing a cover of Men at Work's "Urge Overkill" - I think Colin Hay joined in for the 3rd verse....

that was damned cool. - Actually, I THINK I bought the disk - should look for it...

Sparklehorse's version of Wish You Were Here and Jeff Beck's instrumental cover of Day in the Life are both really good.

Primus covers that I like:

Behind my camel (Police)
Intruder (Peter Gabriel)
Amos Moses (Jerry Reed) - I actually like the Primus version better.

Primus covers that I don't like:
The things that should not be (Metallica)
Scissor Man (XTC)
Have a Cigar (Pink Floyd)

Edit:
Faith No More also did a great cover of The Commodores' Easy, and a funny cover of the Dead Kennedys Let's Lynch the Landlord.

I liked their Have a Cigar.
