Covers better than originals

Totally subjective thread, however I'll throw in to the ring one of my favourite covers of my favourite artist.

I would say it's better but it's definitely one of the best covers I have seen.

There's a few more but I can't remember them at the moment.

A compilation series of albums exists by the name of "Punk goes..." which has a lot of cover songs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearless_Records_discography#Punk_Goes...

Disturbed do some good covers.

disturbed are not big fans of 'western' political and economic systems it seems...good use of a song on a video.

Land Of Confusion, I have no idea why I've been beaten to it, I keep singing the disturbed version every time Phil Collins comes on the radio at work. Hilarious.

I like these covers:-

Quiet Riot's cover. Always one of my favourites while playing Vice City!

Controversial I'm sure but I've always preferred this version.

I heard Running Up That hill today by Kate Bush and I thought to myself I swear that's a Placebo track! Turns out they covered it, as mentioned in this thread already, and made it far better than the original.

BAN.

That's one of the most offensive things I've ever read on these forums.

On the Kate Bush theme, Futureheads' cover of Hounds of Love is great.

Faith no mores version of War Pigs (Sabbath)
Chili Peppers version of Subterranean Homesick Blues (Dylan)
Alien Ant Farms Smooth Criminal (jacko)
Type O Negative Summer Breeze (Isley Brothers?)

Loads now I think about it!
