"baker street" by the foo fighters

Yes! Very cool cover. Much better than the original which had saxiphone. In fact thanks for reminding me, i'm gonna go download that song right now!

 

Others:

 

"Astronomy" by Metallica (Blue Oyster Cult)

 

"All Along The Watchtower" by Hendrix (Bob Dylan) - Neil Young also does a cover of it which is amazing live.

 

"Everlasting Love" by U2

 

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by Isreal Kamanamawiwo'ole (Judy Garland?)

 

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Limp Bizkit (Metallica)

 

"Smooth Criminal" by Alien Antfarm (Michael Jackson) - don't know why but its cool

i want to hear that!!!

 

 

Mindless Self Indulgence do a mean "Tom Sawyer" which of course, was originally Rush.

I was hanging out in a room witht hese two girls who were getting ready forever to go out to some party or another, and they were playing said band. That song came on and it totally caught me off guard. I laughingly asked if it was a Rush cover and they were all like "Guh! No! Mindless Self Indulgence doesn't do covers I think. They're like, above that." From that point I vowed to have nothing to do with this band, but today, by reading your post, I broke that vow, and have since been excommunicated from my church.

Those girls were idiots. MSI do Method Man's Bring Tha Pain on their first album.

 

MSI are the greatest thing no one knows about.

 

 

 

 

Someone should send me Deftones "Simple Man." I'll NF$ ya, or something...
