The music in that is practically identical to the original but the lyrics are entirely different for some reason

Rory Gallagher - I Wonder Who (from Irish Tour 1974)

perfection

Predictably going for Uncle Al and the boys.

20 years on and still disturbing. They added some of their own lyrics too. Either that or I just don't remember Rod Stewart mentioning KY jelly in the original.

Ministry's Cover Up album is great too. I think this is a great cover http://youtu.be/K4ZMRk8hcWk

Bazza's post reminds me of this lost classic

Big Black - The Model

Haha! Nice one, Mr. Happy. A truly excellent cover. 'Songs About F***ing' still gets regular spins on my MP3 player. A classic album.

Speaking of Steve Albini, we're seeing Shellac in Belfast in a couple of weeks, and again at the ATP festival in Camber Sands at the end of the month. Good times....

Speaking of good times - Mr. Albini got to meet my bro (left) and myself (right) when Shellac played The Button Factory in 2008:

On a completely different note to all your angry guitar music...
A spectacular DJ Hype cover, of the Fugees cover, of the Enya tune Boadicae.
Coverception!

Talking of Enya

and more because it's just plain wrong to have a music thread without a fall tune than anything else

Really like that - not sure if I ever knew it was a cover.
