Deftones - The Chauffer (Duran Duran Cover)

Two of my favorites.

Good choice.

I was really let down with that cover, not because I hate limp Bizkit, but because I thought it was a great song for them to cover and they blew it.

The best part of the original is the change of pace and mood from the first half to the second half of the song, the one thing Limp Bizkit is good at is switching their pace like in their cover of Faith. But they ended up making a very flat monotonous song out a song that was very dynamic.

Worst: Sheryl Crow covering Cat Stevens' "The First Cut is the Deepest"

Best: Cash covering NIN's "Hurt" and RATM covering Cypress Hill's "How I Could Just Kill a Man"

Glasseater covering "I Remember You" was easily the worst I've ever heard.

listening to that celine cover its pretty fuckin atrocious, almost but not quite saved by the excessive use of cowbell.

i really wish Mike Patton would have stayed with them, but i guess he goes for quantity over quality when it comes to making records. i'll start listening to them again if Dimitri takes back over on vocals.
