Covered songs better than the original.

Post Far Cough UKunt »

Subjective, I know but anyway:

Hurt - Johnny Cash - original - Nine Inch Nails
This Flight Tonight - Nazareth - original - Joni Mitchell
In My Life - Johnny Cash - original - The Beatles
The Price of Love - Bryan Ferry - original - The Everly Brothers

You fuckers?

The original is a fucking great track, but have to agree with Cough re. Hurt.

Apologies if already mentioned, but Nothing Compares to U by Sinead blows Prince and his bands version out of the water.

Blood Bank by Bon Iver. Great original track (especially the live version) but much prefer the cover by Architects.

Band Of Gold by The Afghan Whigs is...different. But no worse for it imo.

Black Steel is also a very good shout by Tak M.

Decent thread this.

How the hell is that better than Louis Armstrong? You do understand the title right? 
 
to my ears it's better. given the useless fucking shit you keep posting, you must be one tone deaf cսnt
 
 
Terry Hall was a top man for the covers. I prefer this version to Armstrongs, but i was a big fan of his voice, he pitches it perfect between tender and sarcastic.
