BTW, I absolutely love the Roger Waters/Van Morrison/The Band version of Comfortably Numb. One of my favorite songs, and ably used by Martin Scorsese in The Departed. But does it qualify as a cover?

What about the case of Gn'Fn'R with Axl singing covering Knocking on Heaven's Door?
Nope

Maybe Nubbz prefers the Charles Manson song G'N'Fn'R covered on The Spaghetti Incident.

OK let's get this thread back on track.

Here's a version of the Commodores' Easy, as performed by Alternative Metal band, Faith No More.  I first saw them open for Billy Idol in Austin in 1991.  They were really good, very enjoyable show.  They performed this as their encore, the crowd went nuts and they extended it for about 10 minutes.  Lots of fun.  I don't think this one is better than the original, I think that's probably impossible.  The cover is just nostalgic and fun for me.

The cover:

Saw FNM a few times at small venues in Chicago. Excellent band - never did see that song performed. Wish I did.

Was a huge fan of Epic when I was in 7th grade... That was when the video was getting tons of airtime on MTV...

(For the young'uns, MTV used to show music videos.)

For the hip hop lovers out there... Here's another nostalgic one. Not even what I'd call a "good" cover... Just a funny take on a song.
