Bands who do really good covers of other bands.

The general rule of thumb is that Marilyn Manson is a fantastic cover artist because he puts a completely new spin on the songs he does.

Sweet Dreams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUfPz-C6Y-g

Tainted Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTcPIAewhMg

Personal Jesus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3G2BQVrcOs

I would also throw in Metallica as well. They did a medley of covers once and it kicked far too much ass to ever try it again, which is a shame.

Only the first 2 minutes are of importance...

There's the amezzin' Nouvelle Vague, who do lounge-music versions of popular songs:

Teenage Kicks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prl0TiUIzYo

I Melt With You -

In A Manner Of Speaking - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQp8UHNYESk&feature=related

Just Can't Get Enough - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbR_u5oMq1s

Too Drunk To F*ck -

I can think of quite a few other bands who do good cover versions, but it would take ages to list them all so I'll just stick with Nouvelle Vague for now.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

After the performance aired on Radio 1 today, I'd say The Enemy for now. Who else could pull off blending New Order's Blue Monday with Noisettes recent single?

Alouette...deployer les ailes;

Probably quite a few bands but it was my favourite cover from the last few months despite having a huge dislike of The Enemy.
