Inspired by @Beanc asking you to name the worst cover songs...

Now let's name cover songs you think are better than the originals.

@Beanc
Here's two:

Johnny Cash covering Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

Disturbed covering Land of Confusion by Genesis

@voltronic @Beanc I just listened to this a couple hours ago. Great listen

@voltronic @Beanc

I don't know if this is better than the original.. but it's pretty great.

That's AWESOME. I really want to hear that version sung by Cyndi Lauper - it would be like a sad version of Time After Time.

@voltronic @Beanc

Mad World - Gary Jules

the instrumentation of the original doesn't do justice to the song's beauty whereas this version does (IMHO)

@voltronic @Beanc

I can prob do this all day...

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U
youtube.com/watch?v=0-EF60negu

lotta folks don't even know that's a Prince song (did I just do a 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨...bad Marshy)

@voltronic @Beanc

dunno if "better" is the apt term, but the most impressive cover in my opinion is:

Tool - No Quarter
youtube.com/watch?v=Hc00VeB1vi

they basically rewrote the song...

@voltronic @Beanc

hard to say anyone is better than marley, but the johnny cash/joe strummer version of redemption song is great too.

@voltronic @Beanc

Tainted Love
Soft Cell

It feels like stating the obvious now, but until about 2 years ago I didn't know it was a cover.
