Are covers of songs or the atual song better?

If a band covers a song, do you think that it's impossible for the cover to be better or of the same quality? For examples, these songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91h6qUikXjA Cradle of Filth- Hallowed be Thy Name (Iron Maiden cover) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFQ6WmxdMs Shinedown- Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adrjxbVOtXk My Chemical Romance/The Used- Under Pressure (Queen/Bowie Cover) I think that covers can be better or of the same quality. Those are 3 of the best covers I've ever heard.

That depends. Are movies in 2015 going to be better than movies in 2023?

I really like covers actually because you can easily compare the difference between the original and the cover.

I think some really good covers would be

Sonic Youth covering the Beach Boys - I know theres an answer

Smashing Pumpkins covering Fleet wood Mac- Landslide

Janis Joplin covering the Bee Gee's- To love somebody

Nirvana covering David Bowie- Man who sold the world

Baby It's You by The Shirelles, Boys by The Shirelles, and Anna (Go To Him) by Arthur Alexander are all good songs made great by The Beatles.

Some covers are amazing in their own way

For example, Genie by SNSD.

Here's the cover by Royal Pirates, They took a k-pop song and turned it into basically alternative rock. My friend showed me this yesterday and I was amazed.
