I'm always looking for good (and unusual) covers. Any suggestions?

Hmm. A sample of some of what I like the most:

Anything by Richard Cheese. His schtick is lounge covers of current rock and pop songs - his "Down With The Sickness" was in the remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Similarly, Joan Osborne's covered a good many classic songs - her "Think", "Man In The Long Black Coat" and "Son Of A Preacher Man" are excellent.

The Gourds have an amusing cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" which is often misattributed to Phish. Mr. Bungle has done an excellent ska cover of Danny Elfman's theme for Batman. Less Than Jake released an entire album of punk covers of the Grease soundtrack.

Some more:

• Frou Frou, "Holding Out For A Hero"
• kidneythieves, "Crazy"
• Rusted Root, "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
• Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Only The Good Die Young"
• Lost Prophets, "I Need You Tonight"

The Gourds cover is great.

I was just taking the title from the MP3. But, THANK YOU! I have been trying to find out, I need more of this man's work. He utterly rocks.

Oh, Dr. Anomolous, looks like my filename might have the wrong artist for zoom zoom zoom as well -- check out this link: http://www.whatsthattune.co.uk/messagecomplete.asp?id=738

Jeez, doesn't anyone in here listen to anything good? I mean aside from Kilar (Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack) I don't see any mention of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Holst, or even Beethoven.

Sad.

*ducks*

I enjoy that style of music, but it isn't something I can sit down to listen to if that makes sense. There are a lot of artists that I can appreciate but would never listen to by myself or sit down just to listen to them.
