What do you think of these mashups? (Smashing Pumpkins, Beatles, Metallica, Nirvana, Zeppelin, NIN, & more!)?

I don't know about you, but I love a good mashup. In case you don't know, a mashup is a combination of 2 or more songs created by a DJ or through editing software. Most of the time they are awful but slightly amusing, sometimes they are hilarious, and every now and then they are brilliant.

Enjoy:

Nirvana vs Dead Or Alive - Spins Like Teen Spirit

Smashing Pumpkins Vs. Linda Scott (60s pop singer) - Disarm Every Little Star

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko1jQh9EmpE

Nine Inch Nails Vs. Beatles - Come Closer Together

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBDuSa-4EN4

Guns & Roses Vs. Jackson 5 - Illiterate City (not a huge fan of either Paradise City or ABC, but together they are priceless)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32R2HdI3YSg

Led Zeppelin Vs. Black Zeppelin - War Lotta Pigs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThU9BOWcmjM

Bryan Adams Vs. Metallica - Enter You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c13TuINaxJk

Bob Dylan Vs. Elvis Costello - Pump Up The Homesick Blues

http://www.leipzig48.com/mp3s/mashups/Subterranean...

The Who Vs. The Beatles - Who The Helter Are You?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa_xIL7sPn4

Iron Maiden vs. Public Enemy - Hallowed Be Thy Enemy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzculbUtU0c

Hank Williams Vs Slayer - Angel Of Death (awful but funny)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XppEyzyV83k&feature...

Q2: Know any good and/or funny mashups? If not, do a Youtube search for a band/artist with the word mashup or vs and post your favorite result. (for example, "rush mashup" or "pixies vs")

R2: Song of the day by an artist listed above?

D2: Cover song of the day?

U2: Hated because they are so popular or because they suck?

    I would say the one of Led Zeppelin vs. Black Sabbath is the best one. My second best choice would have to be The Who vs. The Beatles.

    The big problem with most mashups being crappier than ever is that they make the worst possible combinations. You DON'T do Guns N' Roses with something sucky like jackson five (I'm purposely choosing to spell them wrong)! You DON"T do The Beatles with WHOEVER THE HELL nine inch nails are (GET SOME TASTE)! YOU HAVE TO MATCH GENRE WITH GENRE!!!!

    If anyone can help, I'm trying to make a mashup with Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" and The Doors' "Break on Through (To the Other Side)". I want Steven Tyler's vocals substituted for Jim Morrison's. YouTube used to have Jim Morrison's vocals, but it was taken down. I STILL HAVE THE AUDIO FROM IT!!!! If anyone wants it, email me at: "rockomedy@yahoo.com".

    Thanks!

    I listened to your links earlier when I had a headache. They made it so much worse I couldn't even answer the question...."Illiterate City" probably worked the best though.

    Q2: No, enough is enough!

    U2: Bands that suck shouldn't be that popular.

    I have one that is "Crazy In Love" vocals over the riff/drums for "Moby Dick", and its actually awesome.

    The Beatles "Helter Skelter" (why not)

    "In The Open" as covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan (live in 1980)

    The Strokes (because they suck)
