Ok. That just sounds wrong... especially when Ozzy's involved....

Actually, it's a surprisingly good cover.

At this point I'll mention Duran Duran's Thank You, an entire album of covers that include 911 is a Joke, Ball of Confusion, and Lay Lady Lay.

One more, can't believe I forgot:

Easy by Faith No More (Commodores)

At this point I'll mention Duran Duran's Thank You, an entire album of covers that include 911 is a Joke, Ball of Confusion, and Lay Lady Lay.

I'd pay good money to hear Duran Duran cover "911 Is A Joke". I could use a laugh.

That reminds me, Def Leppard has a covers album coming out in September, and they have a really good cover of Badfingers "No Matter What" on their new greatest hits album. I saw them 2 weeks ago, and they played a few other covers in their set as well.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Ooo! Alient Ant Farm's Smooth Criminal is loads of fun.

Vanessa Carlton does a cover of Paint it Black that is entertaining, as well...

What's really fun is to play the Public Enemy version and then Duran Duran's version -- very different.

Fear Factory's version of Gary Neuman's Cars -- either the straight Fear Factory version or the remix featuring Gary Neuman.

is there a track listing yet? This could be a good album depending on what songs they chose.

 

[TracerBullet42]

Most of the good ones have already been mentioned...

But we're missing the cover of "Hotel California" by The Gipsy Kings (if you don't know the original artist, shame on you.)

A song made famous by The Jesus* in The Big Lebowski.
