OT: The Avalounge: No Homers Club

[Frenchy]

Freakin' love this


Another terrible band is anything by Quiet Riot.

LMAO !!

And now, perfect segway into...

what is the greatest cover of all times?

Cash's version of Hurt has to be the front runner.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

This one gets my vote:

 

[LieutenantDangle]

bob Dylan covers are great:
All along the watchtower Jimi Hendrix
Knockin’ On Heavens door Guns N’ Roses

Limp Bizkit - Faith

What's worse than being a one hit wonder, being a one hit wonder when your one hit was a cover.

Unfortunate for the Ataris really, because all of their songs are basically the same song, so they could've just played the whole lot of them.

I say this in the best possible way. I really like the So Long, Astoria album. It's easy.

 

[UncleRisto]

We should start a thread for "guilty pleasures." See which music those of us acknowledge is "bad" but still enjoy nonetheless.

Oh, this is a go-to topic of mine. Female pop artists from 1999-2004 all day long. The time frame may or may not be based on a stretch of albums.

Best cover is Pet Shop Boys version of Always On My Mind by Elvis Presley.



Sunday Girl had a version of Where Is My Mind by Pixies, which is also great.

 

[Tweaky]

Fits in two current discussion categories: Red Red Wine by UB40

Another great cover:

Another great cover:

I'm not going to lie, that songs sounds good, but holy hell that's a lot of autotune.

 

[MarkT]

Judging by the thread so far I have a VERY different taste in music than most people here.

Example: my favorite cover right now is:



It's a cover of:

[Bubba Thudd]

 

[Murzu]

Also for good covers, Postmodern Jukebox is a good place to look;

I'm partial to this one, but there are plenty to choose from:

 

[UncleRisto]

While we're on the topic of covers, I'll rattle off seventy...

The newish Zombie cover by Bad Wolves,
Land of Confusion by Disturbed,
Mama Said Knock You Out,
Bad Company,
From Out of Nowhere,
House of the Rising Sun,
and Gone Away, all by Five Finger Death Punch,
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Marilyn Manson,
Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage,
Careless Whisper by Seether,
Any of the several covers Seether has done live, since Shaun is very consistent live (they did a very good "You Know You're Right" by Nirvana, even when Nirvana covers are a bit of a risk),
Planet Caravan by Pantera.
Machine Head has an interesting cover of Message in a Bottle, but the original is so much better than the cover so it's not really worth it.
Word Up! by Korn,
How I Could Just Kill a Man and Renegades of Funk by Rage Against the Machine.

Then if we include the p***y parade,
Africa by Quietdrive,
Fall Out Boy covered Beat It. That one's actually pretty good.
There's a cover of One Republic's "Apologize" by Silverstein,
If for some reason you wanted to hear a punk cover of Smash Mouth's All Star, a band called "Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!" has you covered. But why is that their name?
Paramore has a cover of Sunday, Bloody Sunday. It's tonally a bit different but it's decent.
There's also a pop punk cover of Cee Lo's f*** You, and I know a bunch of other pop songs too, but why would you want to hear that?

I got a job! Finally, I can quit being a full time Uber driver, it's been way too long!

 

[Pokecheque]

Limp Bizkit - Faith

Someone's trolling...

 

[Pokecheque]

I suppose some of the best covers are ones you didn't even know were covers.




And of course...

 

[JWK]

@JWK we found the person who has your twitter account

That f***er went private

 

[UncleRisto]

I bought @JWK years ago.

 

[S E P H]

I am not a huge Mushroomhead fan, but this is probably the best cover song I've heard...


I also quite like these covers too...

Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds (Official Video)

Another great cover:

Ewwwww, so overrated.

I got a job! Finally, I can quit being a full time Uber driver, it's been way too long!

Curious, how was it being full-time just driving for a living?

 

[RockLobster]

Some of you guys' musical takes are....well they're hotter than the sun.


In other news, I saw "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood" last night. 10/10, would definitely recommend. I left the theatre saying "I enjoyed it", woke up this morning and it grew into loving it.
