She has to have slept with every last Stone to get them to allow that.

Although I love Tori Amos' covers.

My favorite Covers are:
1. RESPECT-Areatha Franklin, (Otis Redding)
2. Me and Bobby McGee-Janis Joplin (Kris Kristopherson)
3. All Around the Watchtower-Jimi Hendrix (Bob Dylan)
4. Ruby Tuesday-The Beatles (The Rolling Stones)
5. I Shot the Sheriff-Eric Clapton (Bob Marley)

least liked
Naddonna's: American Pie, & Fever covers
Bobby Darin: Moriart Makie Messer (Mack the Knife)*
*the Original German is so much better.

The scariest folk song lyrics are "My Boy Grew up to be just like me" from cats in the cradle by Harry Chapin

Van Halen and You Really Got Me

Type O Negative's version of Cinnamin Girl is interesting.


The worst cover I've ever heard had to be Pat Boone doing Enter Sandman.

William Shatner doing Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was really bad but very hilarious.

I also heard a Death Metal version of Iron Maiden's The Trooper. The music was great but the "singing" was horrible.
I would like to make one addition to the good covers: Billy Idol's version of La Woman.

I forgot to add the "Sympathy for the Devil" cover by Guns N' Roses. For some reason Axl seems to fit that song better than Mick Jagger does.

I forgot to add to my worst cover list Phish doing a cover of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell." Absolutely abysmal.

Best: Nirvanas cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" (David Bowie) or "Oh Me" (The Meat Puppets). I can't think of a worst right now.

Hey, I know some decent people in France. Take out some other country that annoys the heck out of you, but not my friends :evil:.
