Jimi Hendrix's version of Like a Rolling Stone. And, you know, the obvious.

I'm talking about Johnny Cash's version of The Mercy Seat. I just can't stand Nick Cave.

I prefer the Rufus Wainwright version of Hallelujah over the original.
Also I prefer the Protomen's rendition of Sunglasses at Night over the Corey Hart version.

What the hell people? The original version of "Hallelujah" is much better than Jeff Buckley's.
I usually find any cover by Richard Cheese much more enjoyable than the original. Also, the Cat Power cover of "Space Oddity" by David Bowie is great. Too bad there's only 30 seconds of it.

Something differant, but still ontopic. This is the original theme Unicron had in the original 1986 Transformers movie -
However, there are THREE Cover Versions/Remixes I like, so I'm going to put all three of them here.
This one's a lot more Metal. It's certainly a nice guitar arrangement that certainly adds a level of Menace to the original.
This one's got a heavier Electronic element. It's basically the entire track rescored with a more modern sound.
Finally, this one's the original theme, but done in that epic Orchestral arrangement that's all too common these days. Surprisingly, it works O.O
For the record - I do like the original. But these I just think sound better.

It's an honest mistake, that song is always getting attributed to Skynrd. If you like Ram Jam, there's a best of on iTunes, it's got like twenty songs and they're all incredible.Tsaba said:
I feel I should probably contribute to the thread.
Of course, I don't really like New Order, so my judgement isn't the best in this situation.
Wyonna's cover of 'Burning Love', by Elvis Presley (end of Lilo & Stich).
The Blues Brothers cover of 'Jailhouse Rock', by Elvis Presley (end of The Blues Brothers).
Bowling for Soup's cover of 'Summer of 69', by Bruce Springsteen.
Phil Collin's cover of You Can't Hurry Love', by Donna Ross & The Supremes.
Marylin Manson's cover of 'This is Halloween', from The Nightmare Before Christmas
And with that, I leave you with an awesome AMV that adds a third thing to that last song, that makes it even more awesome:
(Secret confession: Doesn't listen to any other Marylin Manson song other than this one)
