- JackSrenton, on 10/10/2007, -3/+63am I blind or is there 100 songs there and no Save Ferris version of "Come on Eileen"
and yet Uncle Kracker made the list?
wtf? - juicebag, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK *****
- PacoDG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30They mentioned Tool's version of No Quarter. Dugg.
- tommah, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31They're missing I Will Survive covered by Cake.
- scheibs14, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22Is that you Paris?
- Ninety09, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26Interesting list. My #1 would've been Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.
- shifty2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23what? no Me First and the Gimmie Gimmes?
- qwerty1024, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22That's because music died in the late 90's
- th3B3n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I concur! Buried for not including Save Ferris, as well as Reel Big Fish's cover of "kiss me deadly" or "take on me", the Chili Peppers' version of "love rollercoaster", or anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Bleah.
- HijackedFlavor, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16*****, Sugar Ray has never done the best anything.
- dbhaley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14"My Generation" by Hillary Duff? Oh wow, I'm glad I haven't heard that one.
- davin510, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12The site says copyright 2006, but it feels like im back in the mid-90's.
- qwerty1024, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Dugg for the 5 Metallica covers. Garage inc. doesnt get enough nearly love especially considering it was made several years after Justice
- nostartnoend, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Afghan Whigs doing "Creep." CAKE doing "The Guitar Man." The list goes on. These aren't the best cover songs ever; it's just a list of 100 covers almost chosen at random.
- cthulhukb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's, uh, on the list.
- Boshow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I don't know about the top 10 but the worst ten was spot on. I didn't know a lot of those songs were covers. dugg for learning me somethin.
- wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8First of all, where's The Cowboy Junkies doing Sweet Jane (Velvet Underground)??
Secondly:
3. Good Morning Little School Girl Ten Years After??
Never heard of it, am I a philistine? - igibson, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10i know everyones bitching about what isnt on the list and id hate to join in but this one is a must - BOYZ IN THE HOOD by DYNAMITE HACK, original by NWA
seriously though, how can that not be on there? - 98acura, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Nothing by dave matthews band is, good. Nothing at all. Most over rated musician of all time.
- TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Am I the only one who doesn't hate Limp Bizkit's cover of behind blue eyes? It's certainly not The Who, and the band sucks and Fred Durst annoys me to no extent but they didn't ruin the song for me.
I was surprised the White Stripes weren't on the list. They did great covers of Death Letter and St. James Infirmery Blues. - fadetoone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6He didn't say it wasn't...
- ncapone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7As much as I love The Beatles, I prefer Electric Light Orchestra's version of Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven.
Also, I'm surprised the Back In NYC was covered, I didn't know that it was that popular of a song, despite being on one of the greatest albums made by Genesis. - FickyFicky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6lol...that's one of my favorite exchanges from bash.org.
- glasnostic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I’m just trying to figure out why Faith No More’s cover of “easy like Sunday morning” isn’t on the list.
Not to mention Hurrah Torpedo’s cover of “total eclipse of the heart” - PurpleTentacle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Also missing Ugly Kid Joe's Cats in the Cradle
- imandir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7No Reel Big Fish - "Take on Me" either. dugg as inaccurate.
- btgoss, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7True, it didn't die... it suffered a major stroke... but it has recovered and is off the vent now... and rap/hiphop/r&b sucks.... just wanted to say.
- Acirn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Let me preface this with, I am a DMB fanboy and love the version but, no one out can "out Hendrix" Hendrix.
- radiometric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Dugg down: The world does not need to know about anything by Celine Dion.
- tcwood00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5anyone else think that The Presidents remake of Kick Out The Jams was better then Rage's?...even though the verses were completely different...
- juicebag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5How the ***** did I get 31 diggs?
- blumer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5As much as I love Clapton, they're wrong. SRV's cover of Little Wing is phenomenal and beats the Derek & The Dominos version hands down.
- rainblood, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Megadeth - Paranoid (Black Sabbath). Dugg.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Smooth. Criminal.
*twitch* - xOpifex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I love Garage Inc., one of the better Metallica albums of the 90s.
- radiometric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4His cover of Common People is better still
- jcz1978, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4What about The Afghan Whigs' cover of TLC's "Creep"
- GunnerMcGrath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Paint It Black is completely missing from this list, probably one of the most covered songs in all of rock and roll, my personal favorite done by Gob for the Stir of Echoes soundtrack, it's absolutely fantastic and haunting while still having an edge.
I'm also a huge Counting Crows fan, and love their version of Big Yellow Taxi, but prefer the one by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's side project, Pinhead Gunpowder (who pretty much sound like Green Day, at least on this track). - mablco, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7oh lordy! someone on digg knows save ferris? digg up!
- Herolint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Dream Theater is not one of my favorite bands, but I readily admit they have a massive amount of talent and deserve to be on any list having the words "best" and "rock" in it.
- thaibox1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Social Distortion covers Ring of Fire (so have many, many other bands). Johnny Cash's version is the original recorded version of the song written by June Carter Cash.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire_(song) - josegutz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Land of Confusion = Disturbed
Number One = Filter
Shock the Monkey = Coal Chamber
Cars = Fear factory
Smells like Teen Spirit = The Melvins - OwdenBowden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Right with ya
- fadetoone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3As much as I'm indifferent to Battlestar Galactica, I'm anxious to hear the full version of the Watchtower cover they played at the end of the last season. Supposed to be on a soundtrack soon, or so they said.
- ahullgt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5None of these lists can be complete without the Gourds rendition of "Gin & Juice".
- 98acura, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Love the dynamite hack version of that song.
- Pyroteknik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Six different songs were originally written by Bob Dylan. Truly, ever song ever written was done by Bob Dylan.
- jalagl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dugg for Have a Cigar by Primus. All the Misc. Debris album is amazing!
- elbriano, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Not sure if it would fit on this list, but one of my favorite covers is Feeling Good by Muse.
- hella81, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Wow, there were a bunch of songs I had no idea were covers, including my favorite Zeppelin song (Babe I'm Gonna Leave You)
