Heard Pearl Jam's version of Last Kiss last night on the radio. Interesting cover of the original.

I can’t believe I forgot to post them before since I’ve always loved Shonen Knife and they do bunches of covers.

Not if you're manic and psychotic and the medic8r gives you a shot in the hospital!

I missed this thread the first time around.

I like the Ataris' cover of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer". It is enough like the original to highlight that vibe, but then again it rocks in its own way.

After finding out about Meaghan Smith recently, found she also did a Pixies Cover. (live rooftop version).

The Hindu Love Gods did some cool covers of "Raspberry Beret" and "Battleship Chains", plus all sort of blues covers. An underappreciated mashup of (R.E.M. - Michael Stipe + Warren Zevon), their CD is quality stuff.

Turn the Page - Metallica (Bob Seger)
Live and Let Die - Guns 'n Roses (McCartney/Wings)
Boys of Summer - Ataris (Don Henley)
Crazy Mary - Pearl Jam (Victoria Williams)

Cake's version of War Pigs was also kind of interesting, although at first I thought it was terrible.

Cum on Feel the Noize, Quiet Riot

Those recent Johnny Cash covers have been pretty moving, like "Hurt" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
