Brucie ..Nick caves best cover is of Leonard Cohens Tower of Song...but he did a whole album of covers ..Kicking Against the Pricks..I highly recommend, it he is a genius both as a writer and more pertinently an interpreter of songs....

Def Leppard's cover of "Action" originally by the Sweet
The Sweet's version :
Def Leppard version:
Sorry but I must challenge this...Def Leppard are the worst band in the whole history of music and are incapable of making a decent record...and they are NOT from Sheffield we excomunicated them

I'd agree on the album, but my favourite cover of his is Johnny Cash's 'The Singer' - and Johnny Cash's best cover is Nick Cave's The Mercy Seat though he does make a really dull NiN song compelling...
Another good Leonard Cohen cover is Fatima Mansions version of A Singer Must Die.

stagger, there is one thing i like more than sex. and thats nick cave...
tower of song on the LC tribute album makes me have a little sex wee every time i hear it.
funnily enough kicking against the pricks was the first nc album i bought when it came out (showing my age...). i dont think there is a recorded nc track i dont have...
and yes he is a brilliant interpreter of songs. if you havent already heard it check out his disco 2000. sublime. was a bside on pulp's single i believe. happy to email mp3 if ya like.
Got them all thanks brucie plus all the Birthday party stuff.....I shall now step aside from the I like Nick Cave more than you competition.....apart from saying, the first Cave stuff I bought was Release The bats on 7" so I'm probably even older...oh and I've got the Boys next-door album too.
I win I win nanananana

Now Timo Mansio there's a band.......wonders off to find the most obscure cover by the most obscure band in the whole history of obscurity ....but hows this to fill the gap

Johnny Cash's version of NIN's Hurt was played at my best friend's funeral last year. Breaks my heart to hear it now :cry:
Great song brilliantly sung ....

Arguing about Austrian painters with Morrissey. Worried I crossed the line when I got flustered, exclaimed "Schiele take a bow!" and fled.
Tasting the new summer menu at Murder Salads -- love the bone-shaped crostini topping the Henry Leek soup.

For that most obscure of obscure tracks for the very zenith of oddity gothicpunk has set the bar high with the Crass cover so I may be sometime.
I did look at the tweeting....are you sure it's parody? I'd imagined Mr Caves' life just like that.

not exactly a cover, because the Man was there, but came across this and thought of our very own GothicPunk.

NIN/Newman
lp
That's Numan :}
By the time that tour hit the States Nthey were doing 4 Numan songs, and a cover of Gang of 4's 'Anthrax' with Numan on vocals
I saw NiN on this tour in Manchester and though they did cover 'Metal' it was without Numan, so I was a bit peeved when he basically tagged onto the rest of the tour. I'm not a huge NiN fan, I only like about 5 of thier songs and had mainly gone to see Jane's Addiction so I could lust over Perry Farrell... but yeah. This is all good stuff
ahem.
