nah it's really not very good, it sounds just like the original only sung less well

If e'er there was a ringing endorsement of a song, your disapproval may well be the definition thereof
FNM's "Easy" is probably the clearest-cut example of a cover version being comprehensively better than the original that I can think of

Route 66 - Depeche Mode

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:06, Reply)

Agreed.
Especially the Beatmasters remix.

Yeah
I love the Enjoy the Silence remix on there too. It is fucking excellent
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:09, Reply)

I've got pretty much everything Depeche Mode ever did, in one form or another.
Up to the singles from Exciter. Then it's just albums after that.

Just got the remixes album
It is good
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:12, Reply)

I bought the second one a while back.
It's not as good as the first one.

The Live Lounge cover that Pendulum did of The Catalyst is superb
As is Lostprophets' Cry Me A River

as in by the Timberlake?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:15, Reply)

Yep
I know, it sounds like a horrible combination, but somehow it works really well. I don't think they were taking it entirely seriously, which helps.

Like Faith by Limb Bizkit

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:18, Reply)

it gets really shouty at the end and that upsets me

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

Another good example
As is Marilyn Manson's mental version of Rock'n'Roll Nigger
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:30, Reply)

but were you carrying a licence at the time?

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:18, Reply)

Even Dylan acknowledges this
and usually performs the Hendrix version.

You better have meant the Hendrix version and not the U2 *spits* version, because if you didn't...
*shakes fist*
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:08, Reply)

I wasn't aware that U2 had done it!
Dylan cannot sing at all either. Hendrix can, a bit
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:09, Reply)

I'm not going to enter into a debate about this
I'm just going to say that Dylan can sing (or rather could, bit ropey these days)
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:12, Reply)

i'm not going to speak to you until you confirm whether or not you carry a gay licence

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 16:04, Reply)

That's the best news I've had all day

ANSWER THE QUESTION

Young Darth, I take your 'Easy' by FNM
and raise you a 'Higher Ground' by RHCP.

Shamefully, I have to agree with Quentin.
it's a poor cover of an already piss poor song. That said, the boy has taken to listening to fucking clubland mix CD's and they're utter fucking rubbish. Especially the covers. The strapline should be "making already shit songs ten times worse".

I do like Easy though
