Covers better than the original

Johnny Cashes cover of I hurt Myself today

 

KSE's cover of Holy Diver

 

Also seconding Johnny Cash.

And adding Metallica's cover of Turn the Page.

I'm also REALLY EXCITED to hear the covers by Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and Johnny Drop).

 

Gary Jules is better to listen to when you're in a self-pitying mood though.

 

Although I do love the original, Sleeping at Last's version of 500 Miles is magical.

 

The "My Love" cover by We Came as Romans. Pop goes Punk is almost always interesting.

I love Seether's cover of Careless Whisper by George Michaels. Macy Gray did a good cover of Radiohead's Creep too.

 

It's My Life by No Doubt (bet y'all didn't know that was a cover!)
Tainted Love by Soft Cell (ditto!)
Turn the Page by Metallica
Ring of Fire by Social Distortion

 

Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor

Many have argued that Prince sung it a lot better but I truly believe that Sinead O'Connor delivered the true emotion.

If I Where A Boy - Beyonce

This was unknowingly originally sung by BC Jean and dispite BC doing a really good job, I believe that Beyonce did a lot better.

All Shook Up - Avila

It was originally sung by Elvis Prestly and I think it's the major change from dance to balled that makes me love this cover more.

Touch My Body - Cyril Hahn

I won't lie or hold back, I just downright don't like Mariah Carey. However, I enjoyed this cover/remix of the song.

Marina And The Diamonds cover of "Starstrukk"

 

This cover was amazing

 

THANK YOUUUUUUUU <3

Anyone know the Squid Sisters final boss theme from Splatoon?
This guy just made it better. And I thought it couldn't be done.

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal!!!!!!

 

everybody will probably hate me for posting this but [YOUTUBE]Zm1-bVYio1k[/YOUTUBE]

 

I have to second that! It's one of my favourite songs by them.

I always liked these:
- Xavier by Paradise Lost (Dead Can Dance)
- Small Town Boy by Paradise Lost (Bronski Beat)
- Blue Monday by Orgy (New Order)
- In Power We Entrust Love Advocated by The Gathering (Dead Can Dance)
- Running Up That Hill by Within Temptation/Placebo (Kate Bush) I like both version but I think Placebo's a little bit better than WT's.
- Dead Souls by Nine Inch Nails (Joy Division) I still think JD version is better but NIN did a good job.
- Army of Me by Proghma-C (Björk) um, not better than Björk 'cause nothing can beat her vocals but props for even making an effort to cover her work.

And that's it. For now at least.

 

Roomie's cover of Skyfall!
