personally i have always been happy with the covers Pumpkins have chosen and how they played them ...
For live covers I loved the cover of U2's - Stay ... my favourite U2 song and hearing Billy's voice straining on that songs is amazing. also the cover of Steve Miller's the Joker was always a crack up!
But as for studio covers you can't go past - Never Let me Down Again and Dancing in the Moonlight. these songs were sooooo far away from the original it is not funny ... i loved them sooooo much.

Yeah I've never been big on the Pumpkins doing covers... Rock On and Once In A Lifetime really solidified that.
But as far as they go, I'd agree with Simon, Never Let Me Down Again and Dancing In The Moonlight are incredible. James doing On a Night Like This is also worth checking out.
The Alive tease they did was quite funny too.

Landslide is my favourite cover. I love it. I hate the Dixie Chicks version though, it blows. Tori Amos does a really nice version of it too...

i personally dont mind the dixie chicks cover, i feel her voice is pretty annoying in it but the mandolin is cool, so it kinda makes up for it... im not saying its great i just dont think its bad...

I've only heard a couple of Smashing Pumpkins covers and they are Landslide,Never Let Me Down Again and Sad Peter Pan and I think they pretty much kick ass(maybe I'm saying this cause I'm biased towards the Pumpkins )

I I think they pretty much kick ass(maybe I'm saying this cause I'm biased towards the Pumpkins ) exactly. billy could sing a whole album of oversynthesised 80's super pop and id still listen to it. and probably like it.
