Vanessa Hudgens mother****ers!

 

The original "Satisfaction" is probably the only big Rolling Stones song I don't like, but I like Devo's cover, especially the video. And it reminds me of that scene in Casino.

And I guess just about any cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" ends up sounding pretty good.

And CCR's cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine," 11 minutes and half of it they're just jammin.

This is like what still consider "new"....That whole Linkin Park/Papa Roach/Alien Ant Farm era just kinda sped on past me... lol

Dixie Chicks cover of Landslide was freaking being played EVERYWHERE when it came out. Though I liked Smashing Pumpkins cover of Landslide, was gonna post it but too lazy.

 

Is this only for famous covers? Cause I liked this girl's version of Across The Universe:

WOW, that's weird. I came into this thread to post those exact song. You have good taste, my friend.

Rolling Stone did an interesting interview with Trent Reznor about his reaction to Cash remaking his song:

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/7378167/in_other_words_trent_reznor

Cash's remake is unbelievably good.
