Ok we've had our fun. But what about the covers we like? Not the best covers, or even good covers but ones you like for one reason or another.

Hell yeah. I have “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers” tattooed on my arm inside the Ace of Spades.

I’ll see you that and raise you this total motorbanger:

And this reworking of the Princess Mononoke theme blows my mind with how good it is, pretty much every time I put it on, even now, years after it was released.

Also I am not really much of a Twisted Sister fan but this cover destroys the original and slaps hard

Original version by Ernie K-Doe (1970)

Pop Will Eat Itself are much better known for sampling than they are for covers, but these two are pretty great. Covering Shriekback's "All That Rises" feels on brand for the Poppies and I think Clint's voice suits the song. "Love Missile F1-11" sounds like it was written for PWEI and I would have never guessed it was a cover until I heard the original on a movie soundtrack.

You can find the studio version on youtube with more than 3p resolution, but that performance fucking slays.

Speaking of slaying...

Skip the first minute and a half which is just stupid crowd footage.

And this freaked the shit out of me when my folks brought home Tori Amos covers album

And this might be my favourite cover ever

This has been posted in another thread but honestly I think it's my favourite cover of all time.

As far as new stuff, recently there have been a bevvy of great Sabbath covers:
USA Nails do Joy Division doing Paranoid:

Every track on here is pretty lit, but Thou and Moon Duo are particular highlights:

I love the original and hold it up as the prototype for what I want a song to be. This version does a perfect job of turning a song from a different genre into a FYC song, which is a genre unto itself. The Elvis cover is better known and quite enjoyable but this is just pure joy, the opposite of Morrissey covering Magazine's "Song From Under the Floorboards."

Seeing Feist reminded me how outstanding this cover is:
