Cover Songs that you think are just as good/better than original, plus horrible ones
You don't need to post one for every option in title. You could just post what you enjoy. Or whatever.
Just as good. Original: Lynyrd Skynyrd (1973) Better. Original: Bob Dylan (1967) Horrible. Original: Aerosmith (1975) |

These are the first two that came to my mind.
D'oh! Jester beat me to this one. That's fine, it's so good it deserves to be shown twice. Here, have more Cash. Oh and some Alien Ant Farm

I prefer Vanessa Carlton's version of Paint it Black. I know it's not popular but oh well.

All Along the Watchtower and Hurt are the best covers. Even better than the original songs.

Some others...Nirvana's cover of 'The Man Who Sold The World' is better than the original by David Bowie. Killswitch Engage's cover of 'Holy Diver' I like more than the original by Dio. And A Perfect Circle's cover of 'Imagine' is almost better than John Lennon's version, imho. |

The thing I love specifically about Cash's cover of "hurt" is just how different the song feels with an older man singing it, than when a younger one does.
It almost changes the meaning of the song. Just brilliant.

Yeah I can definitely see that. Songs are open to interpretation for sure. With the younger dude it feels like a drug addiction type of song. Yeah Cash had his drug days. But with old Johnny it's like he's showing some despair similar to that found in Eriksons's final developmental stage. Maybe not so much about the addiction aspects though, like with the younger guy. But more about the struggles some have to cope with in later life. Idk.

Totally agree with Plastron on Hurt. Perfect, perfect fit. Even Trent Reznor thinks that Cash did it better. |

I would vote Better.
I actually heard the AAF one before the original. Never heard that Busta and Ozzy collaboration. I like it! Quote:

Started posting this in the other thread but I saw it was a repeat of this thread
Here are mine:
As far as awful, terrible, ****** covers of songs go, the first one off the top of my head is "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit (originally by The Who, and far better)

I never heard that version before. I listen to the first half. I would rank it third, but respect your opinion to place it first. I just prefer the acoustic sound over the distortion in Deftones version. Also the dude sounds like he is makin' out wit da microphone. Not for me.
