    I can remember them , I think doing a set for MTV unplugged where they did that song, but I can't seem to find a recording of it anywhere?

    No, I was thinking of the 90s Nirvana band.
    I thought they had recorded that song and I sort of remember it being unplugged

    House of the rising sun was not on the MTV unplugged playlist that I could find, and I certainly don't remember it from when I watched it.

    ok, thanks for looking. I guess it was another song I was thinking about.

    Well they did play several cover songs, one of which "The man who sold the world" I couldn't say I which I like better, theirs or Bowie's.

    Funny thing is that I was on Amazon prime music playing these tracks and my 18 year old son was like "thats a good sound"

    I know Five Finger Death Punch covered House of the Rising Sun- but I don't see how anyone could confuse them with Nirvana...

    I don't recall Nirvana covering it.

    speaking of House of the Rising Sun... I've been listening to a lot of the old American Idol contestants from when I watched a season or 2 a few years back.

    Been listening to a lot of female artists lately, this girl has been heavy on my rotation. Such a diverse style.

    This is the main 60s song I know they covered:

    I was very into Nirvana back in the 90s, still have a pile of rare/bootleg/import CDs that cost me a fortune back in the day!

    Five finger death punch has a lot of covers.

    The only version I see on Spotify is The Animals.
