Hot chip's Dancing In The Dark is a thing of beauty, although I wouldn't go as far as '''better than the original" because you don't mess with The Boss

What better than some redneck fins to get yer motor running!?

This is a simply beautiful cover by such a talented chap I can't believe he isn't better known

I wouldnt say ones better than the other just depends on my frame of mind as to which i prefer.

Good band, The Interrupters ^.

This is a close one as I enjoy the original and it's a fairly standard cover. But if there was ever a song that could have been written for a Molko vocal, this is it...

Mexicoma did a competent metal-style cover of this, but I prefer the Larkin Poe version.

Good to see Larkin Poe, those two are ridiculously talented

Not sure if this one is classified as a cover. Certainly enjoyed hearing this again on Tarantino's OUATIH.

So many great cover songs. One of my favourites is by a 90's rock band called Eyes who covered Tina Turners Don't Turn Around (which I originally thought was Aswads song lol)

Possibly sacrilegious to say it but this cover is damn good:

This thread needs more bluegrass...

Not a fan of the original Franz Ferdinand version, but this cover is great.

JMJ Oxygen 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9KqM9dG6LU

A metal version of enter sandman (makes the original sound like a disco classic

) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF9Gr5waAJg

There's some really bad songs in this thread.

There's loads of stone cold classics that are covers. Aretha's Respect for instance. How's about Nights in White Satin? Tainted Love? I love Rock n' Roll?
