Best Cover Songs

First and foremost, The Animals - House of the Rising Sun.

System of a Down - Snowblind blows Ozzy's version away.
Faith No More - Easy is an excellent version of the original, even though it's pretty much a copycat.
Pantera - Planet Caravan also blows away Ozzy's original.
Snake River Conspiracy - Lovesong is so much fucking better than anything 311 has ever done, you fags, you.
A Perfect Circle - Imagine is very nice.
Adema - Nutshell can't really compare with Alice in Chains' original, but it's a great attempt to copy a great band. Nice thought, though, since it was meant as a tribute to the death of the lead singer.
Metallica - Astronomy, Tuesday's Gone, Overkill, Turn the Page, and Stone Dead Forever.
Nevermore - The Sound of Silence twists the original into something sinister. It's not my favorite from Nevermore, but it's an interesting take, nonetheless.
Opeth - Remember Tomorrow. Okay, so really what I like is Mikael's voice, but still, I prefer it to Bruce Dickinson just about any day.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, that was pretty much what was implied.

Those are both great covers but they are nothing when compared to the awesome force that was Black Sabbath.

That doesn't convince me much more than calling my opinion bullshit, but you're welcome to your own.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, I can't stand his nasal voice, aside from a select few tracks like War Pigs, when he really busts out. So pretty much any other vocalist is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.

In Snowblind's case, It's the new interpretation I really love, though. The fast/slow mix up and Serj's alternate screaming/crooning.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
