I think that would make my ears bleed :x

I like metal, i like hip hop, but that just would not work!

Yeah thats a good one

The Herd are great, about the only hip-hop act ever that doesnt big note themselves.

Me First and the gimme gimmes doing the boxer is supurb
I slow danced with a chick to the home and awaytheme done by Frenzal at the metro earlier this year
Rise Against do a good cover of built to last by sick of it all
Strung Out cover bark at the moon by Ozzy Osbourne is pretty damn good.
Dropkick Murphys do a host of good covers as well, including Johnny i Hardly Knew Ya, Auld Triangle, No Mans Land (by eric bogle), Rocky Road to Dublin

 

[Non Terminator]

Snoop Dogg performing Metallica's Sad But True = Worst Cover Ever!

Ouch...horrible artist covering a horrible song...

Queen - Big Spender and Tutti Frutti from their live at Wembley 86' album.
Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender

F*cking great call, need that Wembley album. One Vision on it is mind-blowing.

You mustn't listen to very much then.

The greatest opening song to a live concert.

The only others that come close for mine is Hurt by Johnny Cash to open Garbage's last Australian tour and The Ecstacy Of Gold that opens Metallica concerts.

awesome openers.

 

[Flapper]

Bryan Ferry - A hard rains gonna fall.

(Lets face it, anyone can do a cover version of a Dylan song better than the original)

Oh God yes. I came to this version before the original (despite my mental mother being a Dylan nut), and when I heard the original I was absolutely horrified. What a limp wristed piece of sh*t it is.

I do like some Dylan songs (Positively 4th Street is one of my all time favourite songs by anyone), but the vast majority of his work is not great. He can write a song like nobodies business, but I really don't like it when he tries to play most of them.

Another Brick In The Wall - Korn
(Welcome Home) Sanitarium - Limp Bizkit
