Response to Original message |
| 101. I adore Love Spit Love's version of How Soon is Now by the Smiths |
|
Also, Juliana Hatfield's cover of Witches Song by Marianne Faithfull. The latter is light years better than the original. Both of them were on the soundtrack for The Craft, which was far better than the actual movie (though the MSTie in me loves the cheez, and Fairuza Balk). I'm still annoyed that the How Soon is Now cover was ripped off for one of the worst TV shows in the history of the medium, Charmed.  An honorable mention goes to goth band Collide's creepy cover of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. I didn't like it at first but it really grew on me. I think it's the bass line that finally did it for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN1ELMxn1P4 |
| -What song is the best cover you've heard of a song? Here's one: I'll Be There |
