Top 10 Cover Songs Of the 2000s
Iron Maiden cover.
The original song isn't easy to cover. Many attempted this iconic song but most of them failed. Machine Head succeeded the most.
Led Zeppelin cover. 2005
The best cover of this song I know.
ELO cover. 2007 (ELO - Electric Light Orchestra)
I knew and liked the original when I heard this cover. And liked the cover, too.
This is the obvious #1 choice. So much better than all the metal covers above it.
Nine Inch Nails cover, 2002
2007.
The original song is of 1931! It was first recorded by Ozzie Nelson. While Blind Guardian are a metal band, the original song obviously isn't metal. A very surprising choice for a cover. Who knew Hansi can sing like that? His unmatched vocal and tonal versatility is so evident here (if you compare his vocals here with his original songs).
Excellent Venom cover
The Ramones in the house. Kind of.
2005. Britney Spears cover.
Phil Collins cover, 2004
@Userguy44 - As far as I know it was only live but they did it many times at live shows. Once they even played it 4 times during one concert (circa 1997).
But this cover wasn't added by me because their versions didn't impress me much.
They covered Deep Purple? Cool! I need to hear that.
Flashdance OST cover
Abba Cover, One of the best covers I ever heard.
2006.
Iron Butterfly cover (they significantly changed the original and I like it)
