and whoever said Fred Durst's cover of 'Behind Blue Eyes' sucks, i'm with you there... nothing matches the original...

 

[Volcom456]

lately i've really been enjoying 311's cover of 'the love song'

 

[Negative]

System of a Down doing Metro by Berlin.

 

[asmodeus256]

Oh holy crap, I love Metro by Berlin... must hear this song.

[rant]

And why are there two, count 'em two, covers of The Cure songs on the '50 First Dates' Soundtrack? I mean Lovesong is covered by many people, and as far as I'm concerned the only one to get even close to as good as the original was Snake River Conspiracy.

But Friday I'm In Love??? Why, oh why did someone have to desecrate the beauty of that song?
