Cover Albums as in albums filled with covers? Or did you mean album covers?

 

[thedeadite]

i'm wondering the same things, as cover albums usually annoy me. Album covers on the other hand...i know some good ones.

Kickass is in the eye of the beholder. That noise you mentioned is not kickass, just so you know.

Richard Cheese is the best!! He covers stuff from Snoop Dogg and Disturbed and everything in between! It's awesome, because he sings them in a Lounge singer style, it's absolutely priceless.

If we are talking about album covers - i.e. the artwork - here are a couple favs from my favorite group:

If were are talking about cover albums - i.e. covers of already existing songs - I dunno, cuz I don't listen to cover albums.

Alright guys, im talking about cd's that have song covers.

 

[Mattchew]

great Beatles cover album:

'I Am Sam' soundtrack. AMAZING!

 

[Mr. Credible]

the whole album isn't particularly great, but 'punk goes 80's' (various artists) is okay.

plus, it has halifax's 'straight up' (paula abdul) cover... which is one of the best cover songs out there.

 

[Memphis Slim]

 

[antsiou]

DAVID BOWIE - HEATHEN

S##T, i read your edit, thinking about Artwork...
