Savage Clone 04.19.2007 01:57 PM

I can't be bothered to check and see if I mentioned this before, but Sundial's cover of The Open Mind's "Magic Potion" totally rocks.

Crystalized Movements' version of "Baby Your Phrasing Is Bad" is pretty damn killer also.

J Mascis' version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Every mother's son"

the ikara cult 04.19.2007 03:57 PM

The Ciccone youth covers are great.
Elliott Smith could have covered Razorlight and made it sound good, so anything he did - Jealous Guy, Thirteen, and more
Johnny Cash of course, everyone says it because its true
The Manic Street Preachers have a good line in covers too
