What is your favorite cover?


There are many great covers, such as Mr. Tambourine Man,by the Byrds.  I'm curious about everyone's favorite.

@berner99 - I loved how they used 'All Along the Watchtower' in BSG!!!!! 

For favorite cover, I'll go with Jello Biafra's version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away".... 

@hanfrac - one of my very fave covers is the Ramones doing ’SURFIN’ BIRD’!!!!

Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Mow Mow, Pa Pa Oo Mow Mow Mow

THAT always got a mosh pit going!!!!

@ozzy - actually, Arthur Brown had quite a good career with his prog-rock band, Kingdom Come and he's done a bit since then, too. Kingdom Come's 'Journey' is a progressive rock masterpiece.... 

@ozzy - Cool! I hope you really enjoy it! There was another one that Kingdom Come did called 'Galactic Zoo Dossier' that is well worth a listen. A number of years ago, there was a live performance of the Pretty Things' 'SF Sorrow' at Royal Albert Hall or someplace, and Arthur did the narration....

@notlistening - Indeed! Most of those covers on those Rick Rubin- produced Johnny Cash albums sound like they were written for him! My favorite might be 'The Mercy Seat', which is great whether Nick or Johnny sang it. That would be a good cover, 'Only Happy...'.
