I'm absolutely in love with well done song covers. I have hundreds of covers that I enjoy, and I'm always looking for new ones. A cover that I think should be made is Pain by Three Days Grace. It pisses me off how much potential this song has to be great. I think someone like Epica or Tristania should remake it. If you know who these bands are, then you know exactly where I'm going with this. It's got a symphonic metal potential to it. With the chorus echo of 'pain'; that could be turned into such a beautiful choral chant. The music could be enhanced with powerful string orchestral sound and stronger vocals. Another cover I see working out would be Darling Nikki by Prince. I don't know why, but the first time I heard this song I couldn't stop thinking about Porcelain and the Tramps. They should absolutely redo that song. The song has good music, but is in serious need of update. Download I'm Your Favorite Drug by Porcelain and you'll see what I'm talking about. This song was made for her to cover. Anyone else have potention cover opinions?

I like your ideas. I often hear songs and think the same thing, that certain bands could make them over and they would sound even better. That being said, I don't like a lot of cover songs, I usually go for the original, but I think a great cover song is Rush's cover of Summertime Blues.
