I'm compiling a Spotify playlist with the best covers and need input, plus it's always interesting to see what other people find, so came to you cats.

... And go!

Why? Was it the vocal? The guitars are sick.

You realise that is a word for word remake of the original Transformers theme. Don't you like Transformers Steve?

Steve doesn't like Transformers! OMG

I found this one whilst travelling from Melb to Brisbane on the Qantas radio music and oddly enough became addicted to this cover, more so than the Hall and Oats song.

Fear Factory (Featuring Gary Numan) - covering Gary Numan's "Cars"

Nirvana Covering David Bowie's "Man who sold the world"

Johnny Cash Covering NIN's "Hurt" (much better than the cover of Hurt above IMO)

My vid post is this; it's my most favoured cover in recent times.
Lissy Covering Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness"


Also worth stating... hit up Triple J's 'Like a Version' Steve, there are a number of awesome covers performed on there!
