I prefer this particular cover to the original, both are great songs though.

Well, I have many many favorite covers, but keeping in the spirit of a mainly video game themed forum:

I forgot to add this one:
Yup. Night Ranger cover. And it's awesome.

I like the Tears for Fears one but this is far more emotional. I love this song!

 

[Purple Shrimp]

house of the rising sun

The band Cake's album called B-sides and Rarities has several covers. All of which are very well done. Cake has a ridiculously skillful knack for covers. My favorites are "I Will Survive", "Strangers in the Night", and "Sad Songs and Waltzes".

Pomplamoose have some very awesome covers, but please don't search them up, you'll ruin hem for us indie people.

Google Aaron Lewis, the lead singer of Staind. He does acoustic covers of Staind songs and other bands such as Alice in Chains, Guns n' Roses, and Tool, and absolutely knocks them out of the park. Unfortunately I can't find YouTube videos that do it justice, mostly crappy videos of live performances.

But for a good cover I CAN find a video for, how about this one?

Certainly one of the more interesting Metallica covers out there...Van Canto, doing "Master of Puppets" a cappella (except for the drums).

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.

Truth be told, I like Metallica's songs. I just don't like it when THEY sing them. I like most the covers of their songs I've heard.

Also, En Vie by Apocalyptica, not quite sure it counts as a cover as I understand its the french version of a german song or something, but still, much, much better imo.

 

[Flames66]

EDIT: I have just found another version that I think is better than the original.

Great man

I'm not one to question the greatness of Wizard of Oz but I agree completely.

Also prefer Zeppelins version of killing floor

over howlin wolfs version

Though some may argue it's not exactly a cover.
