sorry for any repeats ("Watchtower," I assume), didn't go over the whole thread _________________ kill yr idols
Tempo's a bit sped up, really gives the song a great kick. I actually prefer it to the original, but then again, I'm a die hard T&S fan (favourite band even).
Another awesome T&S cover (live though): Weezer's "Tired of Sex" off of Pinkerton, including Sara impersonating Rivers, glasses and all, and original Weez bassist/Rentals frontman Matt Sharp (he produced all of Sara's songs on their 2007 album The Con). Enjoy:
Hopefully the shitty quality doesn't kill the awesomeness for ya xD One other good cover they recorded was "When You Were Mine," originally by Prince. _________________ kill yr idols
Surfin' bird - Ramones
Boom Boom - The Animals
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - The Animals
Feeling Good - Muse
Piece Of My Heart - Janis Joplin
Johnny B Goode - Jimi Hendrix
Evil Woman - Black Sabbath
roll over Beethoven - Electric Light Orchestra
There's a lot more but it'd take ages going through them.
Without thinking too long, the Georgia Satellites covering "Don't pass me by" (Ringo's song on the white album) springs to mind, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' versions of "I'm gonna kill that woman" (John Lee Hooker) and "Black Betty" (Leadbelly). Primal stuff.
