Cover songs you think are better than the original

[Dolkite]

Leatherface - Candle In The Wind

Nothing like having an Elton John song played in the style of Motorhead by a bunch of big fat hairy bikers

 

[Collana]

Well she was working her way through the merabers of Take That in the 90s so that doesn`t really surprise me

 

[Della H]

Why not , it was written for her

 

[arthur d]

Dope's remix of theat 80's song "you spin me right round"

 

[Hoshi]

I am sure most of you wouldn't agree with me, but I was rather impressed with the cover of "Saturday Night's Alright" by Nickelback and Kid Rock. It was really awesome to hear it done with some heavier drums and bass.

 

[Saleh Omar]

don't know if this was siad yet

the who.. behind blue eyes

i think limp bisket did a much better job with it.. but ya...

dolly partens - i will always love you

[Toodeemo]

paul McCartneys an arsehole. okie doke. a good cover is jolene by the white stripes.

 

[wearetomorrow]

*bumpage*

dunno if this was already mentioned but i think 311's version of the cure's "love song" is much better than the original

 

[Miss Strawberry]

"Paint it Black" by Gob. Don't mean to take anything away from The Stones, but it's a killer cover.

 

[tasteM]

Have you got the live version of that? Its even better

 

[Smile Todayy?]

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle

 

[fiefiemew]

im a big fan of the beatles, but i watched dave matthews version of "in my life" at a tribute, and i was blown away.

 

[Brandi S]

I don't know if there really is, usually the composer plays the song the best way because he feels it the most
