Does anyone know any good covers of old 80's songs done by rockers?
Like for instance I LOVE LOVE LOVE Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love! Awesome.
Any other suggestions?

Weezer does Uptown Girl. I've heard Barbie Girl but that one might be a bit much for the club. Brown Eyed Girl is a good one too. Oh yeah and another good one, oh what's the name of the song? Originally by Cheap Trick..."I want you to want me...I need you to need me..." super cool punk cover.
A problem I've found with alot of punk covers is that they can be really short. Sheesh...some of them are a minute and a half!
The Cheap Trick cover is done by Save Ferris, they also do Come On Eileen w/ Reel Big Fish. A few albums to check out are "Before You Were Punk" Volumes 1 and 2, the "Not Another Teen Movie" soundtrack and anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimme's. Also, gotta have the Bowling for Soup cover of I Ran by Flock of Seagulls
i really like the cover of boys of summer by the ataris... and i really love the original even more...

Depeche Mode covers "no ordinary love" by Sade, also there is a band called Boy Sets Fire who covers "Rocketman", very good, Oasis covers "cum on feel the noise" (personal favorite), Motorhead covers "Louie, Louie" It's good. ALSO..... H2O covers "With or without you". I'll try to find out some more. My bf is in a hardcore band so he knows all kinds of punk covers. I'll pm them to you or just post them here!!!
On Past,Present & Future Rob Zombie does a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" thats out of this world.
how about the NOFX cover of hotel california way cool
lollypop lust kill...Personal Jesus
Powerman 5000....Relax
Deftones...The chauferr (Duran Duran cover)
Rob Zombie....Brick House
Snake River Conspiracy....Love Song
I have more, I just can't think of them off hand
Dinosaur Jr did a really great cover of the Cure song Just Like Heaven.
i also love marilyn manson's cover of golden years by david bowie ;)Quote:

Sapphire that song was done by Letters from Cleo, right?
Nofx has an excellent cover to Jin and juice and if you like that kinda stuff there is a band called me first and the gimmie gimmies you should check them out.
Joey Ramone- what a wonderful world
The Ramones- Have you ever seen the rain
Sepultura-bullet the blue sky
Joan jett- anything off the hit list
Celtic frost-mexican radio
Kid rock-feel like makin love
those are just a few of my faves..oh and lets not forget Korn and Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice Baby
RevoltingCocks - Physical [olivia newton john's oldie]
Pennywise - StandByMe [VanMorrison's way-y-y oldie]
"won't you stand oh won't you fuck'in stand by me ..."
Lagwagon - BrownEyedGirl [another VanM oldie]
...search Lagwagon as they have a long list of other people's music that they play...
I believe "bullet the blue sky" is P.O.D.(well at least they have a version)And although not actualy punk per say but Ring Of Fire by social distortion is cool. And since were on it....Do ya think Im sexy By the Revolting Cocks is also cool as well as Physical(the adam and the ants song) By Nine inch nails...as always...I could go on,lol
yep P.O.D does a version of the song, Sepultura includes it as a track on the Revolusongs ep...both are excellent but I prefer Sepulturas version.
Cover of "The Killing Moon" by Pavement...I had it, can't find it lately because all of my audio players on computer are confused!! Meow!
