You die now.

why is that?

 

[withoutaface]

Because blasko eats cock and chisel are one of the best aussie bands of all time.

 

[katietheskatie]

you're probably right on the second part, but i just happen to like her cover of that particular song more than the original, that's all. and i don't think she eats cock either.

Heaven and Boys of Summer by Dj Sammy

 

[M.I.A-187]

Embrace- How come (originally by D12).

 

[Atticus.]

as much as i like the blasko cover, i have to go with justin on this one

the chisel original is gold

i like pearls before swine's cover of suzanne (cohen). raincoats - lola and the fall - victoria (both kinks originals) are damn fine. ghost - hazy paradise, replacements - black diamond, all of dirtbombs's 'ultraglide in black' are just as good as their respective originals, diamanda galas has a shitload, esp. 'see that my grave is kept clean' (blind lemon jefferson)

that bald guy who covered 'mad world' by tears for fears did a better job than tears for fears

 

[lessthanthree]

i forgot to mention isaac hayes - walk on by
brilliant

 

[Soma]

Hendrix - All Along the Watch Tower is better than Dylan's version

 

[Atticus.]

that bald guy who covered 'mad world' by tears for fears did a better job than tears for fears

and evergreen terraces version is even better

 

[Shell]

I like the Eagles re-done version of "Desperado" more than their old one

oh mercy.... very very very wrong

 

[sukiyaki]

so slap me i actually like they version =/

 

[otay]

It's not better than the original (coz that would be impossible) but the Fugees cover of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry is so awesome. It's completely different yet fantastic. Marley's version is one of my all time favourite songs, but the Fugees one doesn't come far behind.
Also not really a fan of Marylin Manson but I quite enjoyed his cover of Soft Cell's Tainted Love.

GNR - Live and Let Die

 

[Wolfowitz]

oh mercy.... very very very wrong

Nein.

JL's dirge just keeps getting more and more and more annoying as more and more and more people FORGET him.

 

[thejosiekiller]
