Any cover songs you prefer the cover version rather than the original one?
Just a few in my opinion better than the original:
Word Up - Devil's Train
Billie Jean - The Bates
Umbrella - Lillasyster
With a little help from... - Joe Cocker
La isla bonita - Twilight Guardians
Tainted love - Scorpions
Hello - Northern Kings
Stone cold crazy - Metallica
My sharona - Hammerfall
It's a sin - Gamma Ray
Mighty Quinn - Gotthard
Maniac - Firewind
Baby one more time - Heavy Metal Heroes
Deck the halls - Twisted Sister
Cum on feel the noise - Quiet Riot
Rasputin - Turisas
Mamma mia - Tommy Reinxeed
Friday on my mind - Gary Moore
Somebody put something in my drink -
Children of Bodom
I can't explain - Scorpions
You can pick one of the above, if you want.

"Sound of silence - Disturbed
Also, can’t say I prefer it to the original but miley Cyrus did a cracking cover of Nothing Else Matters"
I like Simon & Garfunkel and disturbed version too.

I've yet to understand why this 'Disturbed' thing enjoys such massive popularity.
You won't get cover versions mentioned without it near the front.
All right, I suppose, If you like to hear a song growled rather than sung. Even Leonard Cchen couldn't have done a worse job. |

Sympathy for the Devil - Guns and Roses (interview with a vampire)
Devil went down to Georgia - The Levellers
Heater Skelter - U2 (live rattle and hum)
Worth notable mention although not better than original
Don’t look back in Anger - Robbie Williams (Isle of Wight festival 2023) |

Reel big fish - Take on me
I prefer the Northern Kings version
Northern King's version is easily better than the original.
Tbf thats a fair opinion  "
I play it sometimes in the kitchen.
Even some not into metal like it. |

The Sisters of Mercy do a great version of Hot Chocolate's "Emma".
Also as mentioned above, Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.
But not that bloody awful clichéd version of The Sound of Silence by Disturbed - not a patch on the original. |
