What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Favourite cover song? That's a difficult question – there are a lot of really great covers out there and I have heard a heck of a lot of them. I think Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" is really great and AFI did a cool cover of The Cure's "Hanging Gardens". Tori Amos has done a bunch of good covers like "Bonnie and Clyde '97" (originally by Eminem) and "Smells like Teen Spirit". Which was originally by Nirvana. Who have also been covered by an artist called The King who is basically Elvis and covered "Come As You Are". It's a bit surreal hearing Elvis sing that.
Hmm. What else…? I guess there's Soulwax's cover of "Starfish and Coffee" (originally by Prince). Feeder did a wonderful cover of "The Power of Love" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I suppose at the moment though, my favourite cover is Emm Gryner's version of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard.
