What cover of a song, do you like more than the original?
For me I think I like Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence more Simon and Garfunkel's original. |

There and to the left a bit |
Not sure there are any I can think of that better the original but there are a few that I'd put up there with the original such as:
Futureheads - Hounds Of Love
Madness - It Must Be Love
The Commitments - Try A Little Tenderness
The Bluebeaters - Roll With It (brilliant ska version of Oasis) |

"Faith No More's cover of Easy for me, but that's because I hate the original.
S"
That's a good shout
Hendrix - All along the watchtower being an obvious choice |

Disturbed are brilliant, they cover quite a lot of songs in their own unique way 
I do like Land Of Confusion as well though

The Ten Thousand Fists album is solid start to finish, but Land of Confusion is by far a stand out. David Draiman takes these songs and really makes them his own. Outstanding vocalist. |

"The stereophonics, handbags and gladrags.. way better than Rod Stewart's version.
Oh, I am Kelly Jones in disguise when I get in the bath 
Mary Coughlan's version beats them all  "
Canna fault you there, that is rather superb |

I've not idea how I posted it on the wrong thread but anyhow.....

I don't like cover versions in general I think there weak imitations.... The only two I think I've heard that have changed the original and probably improved it are Hendrix's all along the watch tower (Dylan's was a bit screechy on harmonica) and the guy who slowed down tears for fears mad world but to this day I've no idea who it was lol |

I'd always go Cash over NIN, and he also does a brilliant job of I see a darkness by Bonnie Prince Billy.
Also Arctic Monkeys covers of Love Machine, and Diamonds are forever are pretty magic too |

"I would have gone for Rufus Wainwright's cover, but Jeff Buckley's is a pretty strong contender.
Agree, but prefer original"
I like Puddles Pity Party's version of it too if you aren't too disturbed by a 7 foot clown  |

Elbow do some great covers Massive Attacks Teardrop, Destinys Child's Independant Woman, (definitely better than original), Amarie's One thing, and Amy Winehouse's Back to Black
I also prefer Cakes version of I will survive |

"David Gray Say Hello, Wave Goodbye. Not my usual sort of music, but love it"

"Limp bizkit behind blue eyes much better than the original by the rolling stones.
What about the version The Who sang?  "
I'm I confusing myself again? More than likely I'm sure I read somewhere that the stones wrote it. I am more than likely wrong.
I do apologise for any upset to music buffs. |

Ezra furman normally drops one or 2 good covers into his live sets
He did a great version of Jackie Wilsons - you love keeps lifting me higher
And when I saw him on Monday he did a good version of where eagles dare by misfits |

I heard Elbows version of Bowies bewlay brothers shortly after he passed and it was a quite wonderful version. Garveys voice suits it so perfectly. |

With the exception of some pishy boy band in the late 90's/2000's
Any cover of A-ha's take on me.
Reel Big Fish with their Ska-rock/pop version and Shiny and the Spoon with their Ukulele cover.
Leo Morrachioli (sp?) Does some amazing metal covers of songs
And how nobody has mentioned Post Modern Jukebox is beyond me |
