I'm a big fan of covers done by bands out of the genre. Also tribute albums. I've run into some off the wall covers and was wondering what everyones oddest and favorite cover is.
Here is my quicky list:
Most Covered is Ring of Fire by just about everyone, most obscure if Blondie doing it live. Followed up by Bad Moon Rising and Minor Threat.
Worst Cover: Avril Levigne doing Chop Suey from System of the Down live, its almost so bad you can't listen to it. Also Mighty Bosstones doing Enter Sandman, he just tries too hard.
Oddest Combo: Front Line Assembly and Tiffany doing New Years day from U2.
Stangest but my favorite: Skinny Puppy doing Tainted Love.
I've heard some of the better tribute albums out there, Techno's tribute to Metallica isn't too bad, and neither is the Ministry and Depeche Mode tribute CD's.
My music tastes seem to go all over the map. Johnny Cash's album was awesome with him covering a bunch of Seattle bands.
Like to hear everyones input and find what I may be missing.
I also like to find the originals for songs that bands made popular the second time around. Metallica's first couple of Cd's included alot of covers and I've searched up the old bands, some great stuff out there.
