I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

What I find even more tiresome than note-for-note covers is the whole "let's take an upbeat song and make it all slow and melancholy"; it's worked a few times (the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt" is obviously great because it's charged with genuine emotion;

I think the original version of "Hurt" was pretty slow and melancholy too -- Cash simplifies the harmony (NIN's version has some dissonant chords that Cash doesn't replicate), but otherwise I feel like it's a pretty faithful cover.

I think the worst example of this is Ben Gibbard doing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."

Makes sense, I barely remember the original, but felt like Cash's cover warranted a mention as an example of a morose cover that was good

did i guess right?

It was Taking Back Sunday -- considerably less impressive! But I met the guy at that conference I went to in Colombia last year and we hit it off

"Music Box" by Mariah Carey is a great album and doesn't get enough respect

I like Cash's "Hurt" more than the original

Hurt is definitely slow and melancholy.

I am a Death Cab fan but I felt better now knowing that particular cover existed.

I also did not know the whole "let's take an upbeat song and make it all slow and melancholy" existed, that said I do enjoy Damhnait Doyle's cover of I Want You To Want Me.

So it's looking like with Tool's touring schedule in the toilet that the new Puscifer album's release date is about to get pushed up a fair amount.

It's the shit all over commercials these days. I agree with platypus. Its truly awful.

Thank god Johnny Cash did his version of “Hurt”. I hate the original so, so much.

whoa this is surprising. There's some real great Eno/Moulder influence in Reznor's production of this.

I just really don’t enjoy NIN in general

the new Evanescence song is straight up rock and roll, and actually good: this is how "Come Back" should have sounded lol
