Paulscoconutass Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Of all the songs that have been covered by all the bands in the world, Whats everybody's favourite cover version of a song???Off the top of my head my favourite cover is Goldfingers version of the cure song 'Just Like Heaven'. Both versions are amazing but i think goldfinger have just nailed it perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 i love Goldfingers cover of '99 red balloons', but if i'm picking a favourite it has to be Deftones cover of 'no ordinary love'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I like 'Lovesong' by The Cure redone by Jack Off Jill and you cannae beat Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt'. Macks me want to greet sometimes. *sniff* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
