I have a question for you all. What is your favorite cover or covers? No, I’m not talking about where we have another band singing the exact same song. What songs have you heard that were taken by an artist and completely made their’s?

An example would be hurt by Nine Inch Nails Covered by Johnny Cash

@Chuymatt Made it their own, eh?

Stretching the definition of cover: Butthole Surfers "Sweat Loaf" - Black Sabbath "Sweet Leaf"

Runners up for me would be the Ministry-related covers - all putting a unique spin on the songs.

- Revolting Cocks - Olivia Newton John "(Let's Get) Physical"
- Revolting Cocks - Rod Stewart "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy"
- 1000 Homo DJs - Black Sabbath "Supernaut"
- Ministry - Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay"
