The other thread is too depressing. I recognize some of the best covers come from complete unknowns. So post covers you truly feel are amazing for being a cover. I'm going to post an unknown one. This guy doing Circa Survive's "Living Together" [YOUTUBE]gFrr1BilJJg[/YOUTUBE] And a semi-known one. John Mayer covering Free Fallin' by Tom Petty [YOUTUBE]m9CPwuWteHA[/YOUTUBE] All the good videos are Disabled for Embedding.
I knew someone was going to challenge my thread sooner or later lol. Anyways here's a good one. Karnivool doing Tasmin Archer's Sleeping Satellite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlBU8ln0JJQ
I am really in love with the Shiny Toy Guns cover of "Stripped" by Depeche Mode. It may not be considered the best, but I enjoy it very much. Their cover of "Stripped" actually made me a fan of theirs. It's probably the only cover I listen to multiple times on a daily basis. [YOUTUBE]UfpxzTZFm9s[/YOUTUBE]
Oooh, good pick Andrea. I love STG, too bad they fired Carah but her new band sounds very promising. and I liked thew new STG album to an extent but We Are Pilots will always be a masterpiece to me.
1.) One thing I like McFly aside from their cuteness is they made a great cover of Umbrella! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=30263023 2.) I heart Apocalyptica I think they made the most sentimental cover of Nothing Else Matters of Metallica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwvibLdSj38 Enjoy
Yes! Also they made great collaboration to great artists! I heart them . I almost forgot Linkin Park's Wish(NIN). I know all of you heard it already
