What Covers of Songs Do You Prefer Rather Than the Original?

[IamQ]

I thought of this after hearing this cover of "Everybody wants to be a cat" form Disney's "Aristocats"


It's made even better with the fact that it's only one person singing all 4 vocals.

So Escapians, what covers do you love more than the original?

 

[No_Remainders]

inb4 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt"

Also Johnny Cash's cover of "I Hung My Head"

 

[Daimon117]

Peter Gabriel's cover of "Book Of Love"

 

[hotsauceman]

I like Disturbed versions Of "Land of confusion" better then genesis
And i listen to Killswitch engages "Holy diver" more then dios. But i still prefer dios

 

[Zantos]

I prefer Apocalyptica's version of Nothing Else Matters to Metallica's. Also I prefer Jonny and the Sniper's version of Destabilize to Enter Shikari's, though since Jonny and the Snipers ARE Enter Shikari I'm not sure that counts.

 

[Gulvplanke]

inb4 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt"

Also Johnny Cash's cover of "I Hung My Head"

Not to mention Johnny Cash's cover of "One"

 

[Xelt]

Anything Angela Gossow did after Johan from Arch Enemy.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Have to say, I like Celldweller's cover of "Tragedy" better than the Beegees' original.

Also, about the only song of Korn's I like is their cover of "Word Up" by Cameo.

 

[Blue Horn]

System of a Down's cover of The Metro and Snowblind. They really make those songs there own.

 

[Captain_Fantastic]

i do enjoy amon amarth's cover of balls to the wall just because of the deeper manly sound they give it

 

[Random Argument Man]

I like the covers from The Kooks. My favorite is "Crazy" and I'm torned between them and Gnarls Barkley. I'm suprised no one mentionned "Knocking on heaven's door" with Guns n Roses or "All along the watch tower" with Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Mister Eff]

Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower. Also Bear Mccreary's one from Battlestar Galactica is pretty awesome.

Peter Gabriel's Book of Love cover is excellent as well.

 

[Tsaba]

Sick Puppies "Say my Name"
It's just so awesome.... I thought I should share.

 

[VegetaPrinceofSaiyans]

Black Sabbath's cover of The Warning (Originally by Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation) is masterful.

 

[The Human Torch]

Walkie Talkie Man by Jason Paige, originally by Steriogram.
Jumpin' Jack Flash by Billy Fogarty, originally by the Rolling Stones.
Woman by Adrian Figallo, originally by Wolfmother.

 

[MapTa]

Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Such Great Heights.

 

[Worgen]

I preffer the reel big fish cover of kiss me deadly to the real thing
