I have heard (and like) the original by Genesis but I prefer this version.

EDIT: I decided it would be a good idea to post the original as well:

It's a draw for me. I love both versions equally.

I think I posted this last cover song thread, but here it is again.


I think Metallica's original is pretty great too, but hey, it happens.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Spoiler: Original song

Spoiler: Cover version

Gotta love making disco songs into metal.

 

[Audemas]

NOFX does a cover of Gin and Juice I like and Goldfinger's cover of 99 Red Balloons is also really good.

 

[Sacman]

I like Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's the Man Who Sold The World... I like the more natural feel of Nirvana's performance...<.<

Spoiler: Original

Spoiler: cover

also their cover of Love Buzz by Shocking Blue... But it's hard to compare the two they are completely different...<.<

Spoiler: Original

Spoiler: Cover

 

[Horizontalvertigo]

Johnny Cash's cover of NIN "Hurt" - Winner?

 

[unoleian]

This cover of Justice's One Minute to Midnight was fucking epic. Too bad their soundboard recordings clip the bass so much, but suffice it to say it was pulsing. The guitar and percussion adds something to it, IMO.

Spoiler: Original

Spoiler: STS9 live cover

Also, I'm thanking the Hell out of whoever posted the recording, it is most fortunate.

 

[unicron44]

I just like it ok, get off my back!!!

Also one of my all time favorites

 

[Antitonic]

Cover:

Original:

And if we're going the other way, the original version of "Stayin' Alive" is better than Ozzy Osbourne's cover version.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

 

[TeeBs]

The fact that I wasn't ninja'd too this is a shame.

 

[Clobbertron]

Dinosaur Jr's cover of Just Like Heaven by The Cure. I'm not sure which one I like more though.

Spoiler: Cover - Dinosaur Jr

Spoiler: Original - The Cure

Personally, I think Apocalyptica is better than Metallica.
