gbpfan1231 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Last Kiss - Pearl Jam Agree here. Also Motley Crue - Helter Skelter Not Motley Crue - Smokin in the Boys Room - horrible Not really a song but a cover on the old show Rock Star Inxs - Jordis Unga covered Man Who Sold the World which was originally by Bowie but also covered by Nirvana - Nirvana was better than the Bowie version also but the chick on the show sang it very well.

Chavez Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 there's a van morrison cover of "comfortably numb" that they used for the departed soundtrack that is awesome. I saw Morrison do the song when Waters did The Wall on Potsdamer Platz in '89....very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Don't know if it was "better," but Jane's Addiction did a great version of Sympathy for the Devil. That was my first thought. Dinosaur Jr. does a mean cover of Just Like Heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
