Cover songs you like better than the originals

Nirvana's unplugged Man Who Sold The World

Totally agree! Nirvana's version never gets old...it's just perfection.

Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu did a full-album cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. Their versions of Shadowplay and New Dawn Fades rival the originals, if not surpass them in my eyes.

I also prefer Radiohead's cover of The Headmaster Ritual to the original done by The Smiths.

Info plz

It's on YouTube, there wasn't an official release, but they did a concert in New York where they did the whole thing.

Here's "Disorder", I think you can find the rest them of them through Related Videos.

Trivium, Robb Flynn(Machine Head), and Corey Taylor(Slipknot) covered Creeping Death from Metallica last night. I don't know if it was better but I thought it was pretty good. This is Corey Taylor though so expect a lot of F bombs.

Faith No More - War Pigs
Colin Meloy - Everyday Is Like Sunday
Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

One cover that really amazed me was Opeths cover of "Would?" (Alice In Chains) I was looking for AiC covers since my mom hates when other people cover her favorite bands (AiC is #2, behind GNR) I saw that Opeth played Would and had to hear it. Instantly liked it more then AiC's version. And I LOVE the original.

Others;

Simple Man - Shinedown (Skynyrd)
Turn The Page - Metallica (Bob Seger)
Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm (MJ)
Korn - Word Up (???)
Welcome To The Jungle - John 5 (GNR) {this just barely makes the list}

This is all I can think of at the moment.

Starting the editing here:

Oops I Did It Again - Children Of Bodom (Britney Spears) {who would have thought this existed}
Shout - Disturbed (Tears For Fears) {any of disturbed covers, but mainly this one}
Bad Company - Five Finger Death Punch (Bad Compnay) {I don't thing you should ever cover a song that shares the name of the original band, but this was still a great cover}
Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage (Dio)

Rush also has a pretty good cover of a song. Don't remember what song but the original was either by Weezer or The Who. That song was also on GH;III

Rush had a handful of good covers on their Feedback EP... most prominently of Summertime Blues and Crossroads.

Of Disturbed's covers, I'd have to say their best is likely Land Of Confusion, though.

Of course, you can't forget about the cover album that Between The Buried And Me did... there's a few clunkers on there, but some gems as well (Geek U.S.A., Three Of A Perfect Pair, Us And Them, Bicycle Race).

Word Up was originally by Cameo, the Rush cover was The Who's The Seeker, and Tears For Fears should never be covered...they were an awesome band.

[Onslaught_fei]

Someone likes the KSE Dio cover? Someone ****ing kill me, right ****ing now.

[SenseiLeRoof]

Korn - Word Up (???)

(Cameo)
