    Thumbs up

    This doesn't quite qualify as a cover, but I don't care because it's neater than shit. During the drum solo at a Foo Fighters gig in Toronto, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson join Taylor Hawkins for a version of Rush's "YYZ". The crowd goes positively apeshit, and deservedly so. Probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. From March 22nd, 2008 at the Air Canada Centre. The first clip has better sound, the second a bit better image.

    Not bad. I'll bet Grohl was a little jealous though. Probably wished he would have done the drum solo that night.

    YouTube just got done streaming a live U2 show, so their servers were probably slammed.

    Thanks FORD. The band called "Love" did the original.

    The Damned - they had a few good covers. They weren't a half bad band, looking back at it...

    I always liked this version better than the one on the "Kick" album.

    An import cassette of "INXSive" made the rounds of my friends in the 80's until it was well worn out, because it was the only place you could hear that version of the song and other early stuff like "We Are The Vegetables". Thank God I found that compilation on CD, because that tape was really worn out by '88 or so.

    Is it technically a "cover" if you sing it with the original band (or at least HALF the original band)?

    From the album The Moog Cookbook released in the mid-nineties, this is a cover of Green Day's "Basket Case". The album was recorded using old analog synthesizers and effects, including a Moog or two. This tune winds up sounding like a Mike Post theme crossed with a Doobie Brothers hit (namely Hill Street Blues and What A Fool Believes). Oh, and there are references to the Captain and Tenille as well. I think it is utterly brilliant.

    That's completely demented..... in a good way, of course.

    As is this bastardization of Nirvana from the same collection, that seems to have escaped from George Clinton's mothership.....

    Outstanding cover!!

    I'm real cautious about covers because they come with the inevitable comparison. There are also different degrees of success. Most often the covers are decent. Sometimes they can be atrocious i.e. Sheryl Crow doing "Sweet Child O' Mine" or Dolly Parton's HORRENDOUS MASACRE OF "Stairway To Heaven". Then you have AWESOME covers where whoever does it really pulls it off and surprises you like Dave's "California Girls", Black Crows doing "Hard To Handle", or ZZ Top nailing the Sam and Dave tune "I Thank You". Of course pulling up the rear is the TRULY ASTOUNDING level where the cover is so incredible it actually is equal to or can make a strong case of being better than the original. Now, this is the rarest of levels because it just doesn't happen that often even with the mindboggeling number of covers that have been played throughout history. This level is reserved for covers like Jimi Hendrix doing "All Along The Watchtower", Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and one of my all time favorites; Jeff Healey covering "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"! This is all my 2 pennies... I'm embed challenged but I'll try to post the last one I mentioned. If it don't work its on youtube.
