EmotionDetector Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 QUOTE (MULTIPLIED REACTION @ Mar 14 2010, 07:32 PM) Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie) Whether you love or hate Nirvana, this cover is one of the all-time greatest covers ever. From day one of hearing the 'Unplugged' album, I was hooked, and this was one of the main reasons. That, and LAKE OF FIRE (Meat Puppets). Another outstanding cover by Kurt and Co.

tripdad Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 QUOTE (VarianStar @ Mar 15 2010, 08:29 AM) "Subdivisions" ~ Jacob Moon (Rush) Oh yeah - seriously like his version! also agree with folks that said - Stone Cold Crazy and All the Young Dudes - great stuff. Let me add a few more.. Def Leppard - Rock On (2006), David Essex (1973) Cheap Trick - Ain't That A Shame (1979), Fats Domino (1955) Joaquin Phoenix- I walk The Line (2005, Johnny Cash (1956) I guess we could start separate thread "Worst Covers of all Time" - But why bother??

Rick N.
