we will rock you {live} by robbie wiiliams wos 100 times better than the one five did that was waste of time.innuendo at the freddie tribute was also terible
Paddy Can You Hear Me Now Phoenix Nights Series 1
the singer from Built To Spill (can't remember his name at the moment) does a solo accoustic version of You're My Best Friend in his live set. it's quite nice actually. i have various versions of under pressure that range from nice to terrible, but nothing gets close to the chemistry of bowie/queen. that's my favorite song from BOTH groups/artists.

i also have a interesting (if you are into punk and indie rock) cover record called "Dynamite With A Laserbeam". all queen covers (and some super obscure ones) by artists of this one small california record label. some are prety damn good, some are just crap, and a few are totally bewildering.

once i was home for the holidays and dad (who always maintains he hates queen) was playing an opera version of Who Wants to Live For Ever. he had no idea, and didnt believe me that it was a queen song, until i pulled out the cd case and showed him!
killer queen by arid(the singer has a voice like freddie.believe me)

I'm alone with this opinion, I know. I find Wyclef Jean's version of AOBTD very good. Five doing WWRY wasn't that bad either.

Killer Queen by Travis. Spot on.

My favourite is BoRap by Bad News, especially the rock bit as it sounds heavier.
Know what the worst is? Dwight Yokum's CLTCL. that's soooooo country!

The Scorpions doing 'Love of My Life' was pretty cool. I have it on a live cd, I don't think it was ever recorded in the studio. It's not my favorite cover but it's a good one that hasn't been mentioned yet.
my version of "you take my breath away "

I wouldn't disagree, sir vinou. . but aren't you a little biased?? ;-)

It was a pure joke .. and anyway i did not say that i considered my version as the worst or as the best ....

Happy new year everyone ...
Bohemian Rhapsody by The Braids - TERRIBLE!
I like the 'Weird Al' stuff a lot, really.
Metallica's SCC wasn't bad either.


I don't know how you call AOBtD w/Wyclef a cover, Ice Ice Baby wasn't a cover. They are samples - one more than the other. Am I wrong?
The fact that the names are the same shouldn't cloud the idea.
You just can't beat the reasonably priced mosquito repellant OFF.
In my opinion the best cover of a Queen song is definately extreme's version of love of my life(the b side to more than words-i love that song)
