i always like covers from the police, or the pixies, or the clash...classic shit that people will know so they can sing to it and dance and shit. otherwise you're just playing another unknown tune and the point of covers is to get the crowd motivated into listening to your originals, right?
- Les Savy Fas does a pretty boss cover of Debaser.flavorful
- i've heard it, and it's AWESOME.anxiousarms

Uh ... do you want us to post our favourite covers?
I think it goes without saying the best cover of all time was "All Along The Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix to the original by Bob Dylan.
Nae much a cover as I believe Bob said, "Fuck it dude, that's his song now. I don't think I'm ever playing my version again."
- great song, but i always feel like classic rock covers are so cheesy.anxiousarms

Seu Jorge did a boat load of David Bowie songs in Portuguese for the Life Aquatic film. Those are great.

Some good ones on here, slow versions of Pour Some Sugar on me, Crazy Train and others, all rock songs done in a very different manner.

Yeah, sure - it's hackneyed and Pop! but one of my favourite covers is Jose Gonzalez' Heartbeats (yes, the one off the Sony advert) - if only because it's an incongruous lo-fi guitar re-do of The Knife's electro-strained copacabana version.
Failing that, the only other cover that springs to mind is Nirvana's 'Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam', as done by the Vaselines (or so ol' Curt assures every time I listen to Unplugged).
