The Dough Anthony All Stars cover of Throw Your Arms Around Me is close to the best piece of music I've heard period.

I actually think most of the songs the Doug Anthony's covered turned out better than their originals,Heard it Through the Grapevine, The Auld Triangle, Misunderstood are all wonderful.

There's a Stairway To Heaven cover that's circling P2P networks, that's attributed to Pink Floyd. It's not by them, but it's a great version. Anyone know who it's actually by?

Umbrella - All Time Low (Rihanna)

so much greater.

 

[efhat]

Better:

Land of Confusion - Disturbed, originally by Genesis

Same:

Tainted Love - Marylin Manson, originally by Soft Cell

 

[Makro]

Umbrella - All Time Low (Rihanna)

so much greater.

love it.

Sunday bloody sunday (acoustic) - paramore (U2) is pretty decent. I'm also quite impartial to Time after time - all time low (cindi lauper, sp). Also, even though its shit in every way, I like blink-182 covering The Cure's "A letter to elise".

 

[allykat92]

Better:

Land of Confusion - Disturbed, originally by Genesis

Same:

Tainted Love - Marylin Manson, originally by Soft Cell

:O I forgot about Land of Confusion!! Disturbed's is definitely better
