[Son of Heaven]

I may be in the minority here, but I liked Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love better than the original.

But the name of this thread is Cover songs you think are better than the original

 

[David.hamster]

There are a handful, but what I really love (and yes its sacreligious) is Stevie Ray Vaughn's Instrumental cover of Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix.

 

[VICTORIA Joachim]

I already knew she destroyed Heart-shaped Box and Zero too, but Orestes? :banghead:

 

[Mishi]

Get the Party Started - Cobra Verde

there are a few other good covers in that album

 

[Aidan P]

i agree with the hendrix, cake and nirvana songs, havent heard the other two

 

[asparagus_tr]

Thanks I never knew that. In the few interviews that Cliff did he mentioned Glen Danzig a lot.

soft cell-tainted love completely smashes the original

 

[Wyatts mama]

same

 

[icruz1]

metallica- whisky in a jar
QOTSA- everybodies gonna be happy

 

[Laurie penna]

There's also a version by Elvis Costello and Nick lowe that's sweet.

People will think this sacriligious, but Roddy Frame (from Aztec Camera ) does an acoustic version of the Beatle's In My Life that is, indeed, better than the original.
And In My Life is my most favourite song, so that's saying something!

 

[Something Like A War]

I may be in the minority here, but I liked Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love better than the original.


Actually, Tainted Love was originally a soul nuraber,done in 1964 by Gloria Jones- and it's the best version by far...sounRAB a bit like Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, but way better.
