Song covers that are better than the original.

All Time Low covered "Umbrella" by Rihanna, and I think it's so much better.

I actually love this version, it makes me feel so great.

So do you think any covers are better than the original? If so, link them bad boys!

Johnny Cash - Hurt Sorry NIN fans, but even Trent himself admitted it. MrPraline

Gah, I love both versions. Something about Trent's voice just makes NIN's version win the battle, though.

Gary Jules version of Mad World. (Origonally done by Tears for Fears)

Gah, I love both versions. Wae416

Lacuna Coil's cover of Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode is, in my opinion, better than the original.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

You all know its the best cover ever.

The Man Who Sold the World. I don't find the original enjoyable.

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Guten Tag by +44

Surprised no one's brought up All along the Watchtower yet, though I guess it's kind of obvious.

Stone Cold Crazy by Eleven ft. Josh Homme. Forgot who did the original but I like Eleven's version better. Also, Felling Good by Muse.Lyphe2k

Queen did the origonal Stone Cold Crazy.

local h - toxic

Johnny Cash - Hurt Sorry NIN fans, but even Trent himself admitted it. MrPraline

Uh, Trent said it was the video that made the song better than his, the accompaniment of the two, both the song, and the video.

I will always consider Trent's better, one because I;m biased as hell, and two because his has a denser sound that benefits the song, and I prefer Trent's voice.

Superchunk playing 'Say My Name'

I think it kicks ace.

hmm, there are a few,

Jimi Hendrix- All Along the watchtower

Johnny Cash- Hurt

and theres a lot more, but I really cant think of them right now

Jose Gonzalez cover of Kylie Minogues "Hand on your heart".

I hate the orgininal because its RAP, but this one is pretty good I guess

Lollipop - Framing Hanley

Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage.mikeg0788

[QUOTE="mikeg0788"]Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage.Big_Bad_Sad

Um... in my humble opinion....

Scorpions - Love of My Life

Originally by The Queen.

Its a live performance. Klaus sings it perfectly. Again... in my opinion.

[QUOTE="mikeg0788"]Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage.Big_Bad_Sad

One of the greatest songs ever made.

Mindless Self Indulgence's version of Bring The Pain by Methodman. respect to methodman but MSI's version just pwns

Hm, I was mistaken, my apologies. He was indeed talking about the video.MrPraline

Hey don't worry about it, any mention of Nine Inch Nails on these forums is a good thing. Before I came here there was little talk of Mr.Reznor.

Samwel_X

And three, without the rest of the Downward Spiral, the song loses a good deal of its meaning.

And I'm not exactly saying better, though Josh and Troy are superior guitarists, Queens of the Stone Age's Christian Brothers. Originally done by the late and oh so great Elliott Smith.

The Beautiful South covered that song Dont stop moving by S Club 7, and turned it into a jazz ballad. Weird, but awesome.

Teenaged

Try and find the cover, its great in a really bizzare way. Beautiful South also covered Dont Fear the reaper by Blue Oyster cult and gave it a Latin Dance sound, and they covered Blitzcrieg Bop and turned it into a weird pop song with a girl singing.

None really come to mind, but I saw The Killers live and they did "Girls just wannahave fun" i thought it was much better than cyndi's

Kamelot Forever

Although Kamelot changed this song A LOT its not really fair to call it a cover when they put so much effort into it.

Gary Jules' version of MadWorld is much better than the Tears for Fears version.

children of bodom - oops i did it again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sguF2D1UA

best cover ever.
