jad fair and kramer's version of help by the beatles.

bongwater's four sticks. bongwater always made covers their own. i also like their ride my seesaw by the moody blues.

It would be nice to up covers that are mentioned in this thread, and make a mixtape?

Steel Pole Bath Tub's version of The Cars' "What I Need" & to a lesser degree SPBT's version of "I Deamed I Dream"

I'm not familar with Buck 65. But I'll put money on it being a cover of Roxy Music. Much too uncommon of a song title to be repeated. If you catch my drift...

From this album, if you're curious:

^ Fields of the Nephilim did a cover of 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache' too.

On the '26 Mixes for Cash' LP, I love the two Aphex Twin mixes of tunes by the Nav Katze. But I've never heard the Nav Katze, so I don't know how dismantled they are.

Swans - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Jarboe version) - the track consists only of Jarboe vocals and keyboard playing the main riff
Tarwater's version of Swans The Miracle Of Love is also pretty interesting

Butthole Surfers version of American Woman by the Guess Who.

The Cardigans did a cover of Black Sabbath's Iron man that is amazingly sweet.

Iain 02.09.2007 02:05 PM

I think I mentioned the Butthole Surfers one but if I didn't I meant to, honest. I thought of one the other day but I've forgotten it now.

bowie's cover of 'let's spend the night together'--- boy is it a shit.

Whilst Devo's version was excellent.

Glice mentioned soft cell's version of 'tainted love' - personally i prefer coil's version.

and what about einsturzende neubauten's cover of 'je t'aime' on the 'kollaps' album?

Beck - Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes
Polyphonic Spree - Lithium

sun city girls, killdozer and the fall have made some awesome covers.

someone mentioned "sweat loaf" by butthole surfers already, but i'd like to mention it again.

My favorite album/EP of live covcers is the Firehose LIVE TOTEM POLE EP

they do Slack Motherfucker, The Red & The Black, Revolution (the butthole surfers one), Sophisticated Bitch (public enemy)

their cover of slack motherfucker is the single greatest cover of anything by anyone of all time.
