Forgot to add this to my remix list:

And this might be necessary to add as well:
Just good ol' "movin' the spirit" music for me.
EDIT: Must...add...one...more...

The original is good, but this one... I dunno, I like it more.
Actually, I like this one AND the original about the same. Both are amazingly well done.
*sigh* Fine, I also love it because I am a huge fan of Psych and this is the song they played when Shawn and Juliet first kissed. I'm a sucker for a good romance subplot, sue me.
LOVE this one, not too fond of the original. The acoustics and harmonizing just make this cover so much more emotional. Also, it's sung by a bear with Elvis Costello's voice, presumably because the bear just ate Elvis Costello.
I definitely like this one more than the original. It just seems better structured, yet it doesn't change what I like about the original.
There's a few that others have already mentioned as well.
Of course the vocalist is a little more versatile and skilled in Maiden, but the music is much more dramatic in AE's version. I like dramatic music.
I like Soundgarden's version of "Rusty Cage" better than Johnny Cash's, although the comparison between the two is damn close.
I suppose a part of my preference is that I first heard the former version while blasting down a highway dodging cop cars in GTA:SA.
For your comparison pleasure:

I like the original, but... I dunno, I just don't really have any reason for preferring the cover other than the fact that I simply find it to be more appealing to my tastes.

This may have been posted already, but this is a great cover of Skynyrd's "Simple Man"
Odd, because normally I'm a total classic rock snob, but I prefer this version of it.

Uh.. Can't think of many.. I like a couple of Metallica's covers,specially the ones from Diamond Head. Adds a rough edge, my kinda taste. Although for most of those covers, I like the original better, but there are a few that stand out.
I disagree, but we all have opinions I guess. Music isn't a competition,so meh. Oh and just to mention, I'm an absolutely huge Metallica fan, as you can tell by my AvatarSwny Nerdgasm said:
That is quite awesome. Funny how Minecraft seems to bring out so much creativity in people, and not just of the kind you'd expect.Brutal Peanut said:
Meh, I liked the T&S better.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Anyway, they've probably been mentioned, but I'm not looking through this monolith of a thread:
^No, that is not the original, the original was by Slade.
This one is not STRICTLY better, but I like it more than the original, though the original does some things better.
Mentioned but not linked on page 1. It's just a strict upgrade, dear God it's awesome.
Again, it's a sidegrade, not strictly better, but I like it more.
What the internet was waiting for when they heard about "Pirate metal".
Oh, and I forgot, one of those "THAT WASN'T THE ORIGINAL????" ones:
It's an Otis Redding cover.
And one more thing for the record: I, too, thought the Van Halen cover of the Kinks "You Really Got Me" was better, until I played Battlefield Vietnam and heard them play it live:
