My Top 10 Favorite Covers - Round 2
Ten more of my favorite cover songs in order. I only picked songs if I had heard the original version as well. |
| 1 | Say Anything
Dammit
blink-182 cover. Unreleased I believe... The emotion Max put into this song is just amazing. He took this upbeat, fast paced song and slowed it down which I must say, might suit the song better. Just an overall amazing cover. |
| 2 | blink-182
Another Girl Another Planet
The Only Ones cover. From blink-182: Greatest Hits. Just made the song a lot more fun and current sounding. They make this song their own. Plus the vocals of the original made me lol (sorry if that offends anyone :P). |
| 3 | Fightstar
Breaking the Law
Judas Priest cover. Off of Kerrang Higher Voltage!: Another Brief History of Rock. Fightstar pumped this song up a hell of a lot. The build up to the chorus is so intense. Fightstar tends to do pretty good covers and this one just happens to be the best cover on a cd full of covers. |
| 4 | Ace Enders and a Million Different People
Bittersweet Symphony
The Verve cover. Single release. Featuring Mark Hoppus of +44, Matt Thiessen of Relient K, Craig Owens of Chiodos, Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low, Kenny Vasoli of The Starting Line, Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer, Aaron Marsh of Copeland and I think one other dude lol. This song is just cool to hear all the different vocals. It keeps the song really fresh and interesting. |
| 5 | Shoot For Tuesday
My Humps
Black Eyed Peas cover. Off of www.myspace.com/shootfortuesdayband . They took this pop song and turned it into a cool funky acoustic song. Lots of fun. |
| 6 | Set Your Goals
Put Yo Hood Up
Lil Jon cover. Off of Punk Goes Crunk. This song defines fun haha. Set Your Goals pulls off Lil Jon better than Lil Jon himself. The song even has Yoda rapping out a verse! |
| 7 | Children of Bodom
Oops! I Did It Again
Britney Spears cover. Bonus track off of Are You Dead Yet?. This song is f***ing hilarious! I love how they have Britney doing backing vocals in the chorus ;) haha |
| 8 | Gallows
Nervous Breakdown
Black Flag cover. Off of Kerrang Higher Voltage!: Another Brief History of Rock. What band could pull this cover off any better? Gallows killed it with this one. |
| 9 | A Static Lullaby
Toxic
Britney Spears cover. Bonus track off of Rattlesnake! (also set to appear on Punk Goes Pop 2). This is a really odd song, the acoustic guitar is a strange addition. The screamed out parts make this song pretty wicked. |
| 10 | SIGN
Run to the Hills
Iron Maiden cover. Off of Kerrag Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden. SIGN changed this song up quite a bit. It starts off really slow and epic and slowly builds. The screams leading into the choruses are intense too. |
