Bumpty bump.
Wilson Pickett & Duane Allman covering Hey Jude:
Aretha Franklin & Duane Allman covering The Weight is pretty phenomenal too, although so is the original...
And I don't know if this is necessarily better, but definitely a unique twist on a classic:

In no certain terms is this version, per se, better than the Beatles' original, but I supremely dig how 801 took a psychedelic masterpiece and flipped it into a raging prog-jazz fluctuation of rhythmic overload that pulses and undulates with crackling verve and raw kineticism.
Revolting Cocks - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
Its hard to pick the right show but most any Loving Cup - The Phish from Vt. It seems to work best when Page takes shit over.
Ween cover Roses are Free - The Phish from Vt.
Estimated prophet, Burning Spear
Great Dead cover.

Just ran into this youtube series by the AV Club that has a bunch of bands playing covers that are pretty good.
Punch Brothers covering The Cars

Not better, but interesting GWAR covering Kansas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baExq6xNhQ8
And in that vein, 1000 Homo DJs - Supernaut:Quote:

Most people don't realize that the Ramones were one of the best cover bands ever. They did a shitload of them. And they're all really good imo.

One of the greatest cover bands ever, they turned them all into Ramones songs.
UM plays a cover almost every show that I am aware of.... better???? some times...

the variety of covers is what really impresses me.
Here's a list of 27 covers the Ramones did. Impressive variety.
forgot about the time cover by ramones.... thanks for posting ice...
edit - I like much better than original...
Has anyone mentioned Love covering Burt Bachrach?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftO9ClIhFAo
The Gourds - Gin and Juice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur1N3UyT1lE
ha good one, hadn't heard that for a while. Definitely better.
This is great - John Doe covers the Replacements. I found it while I was looking for the Replacements covering Kiss:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ytBbgVtHQ
Social Distortion does Under My Thumb pretty well, and they also do Death or Glory. Maybe not better than originals, but pretty good.

Fair enough. Thanks
^^^^BOOO!!!
It's a Dave Mason/Traffic tune, this is the best cover, come on mang:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiTcmahEjiY
You never hear the original, it's pretty damn good itself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRcib2lcbjw
(although I just read it's in the move "Flight", I didn't know that).
^^^ I love the Traffic release but fucking cocker is WAY the fuck overplayed.... I could live my whole life not hearing that again. But hey, its music and everyone likes a little bit different, and I like that.
edit: quality kinda sucks but fun song none the less.

I liked the gunners take on Sympathy - just sorta in your face without all the bongos & shit. Wouldn't say it's beter though.
Pretty much every cover by the Stones, Zeppelin, and Hendrix is better than the original.
Some of Tom Morello's live versions of Ghost of Tom Joad are kinda better than the Springstein version. Not Rage's version, the Morello weird solo "career" version.
Metallica's version of Turn the Page.
The Nirvana Unplugged versions of those 2 or 3 Meat Puppets songs.
Oh, and like half of Sublime's first album is really good covers that in some cases might actually be better than the original.
Johnny Cash's Devil's Right Hand, by Steve Earl. Steve Earl's version of Looking Through You, by the Beatles. The Beatles's version of Twist and Shout.
^^^See what I did there?
/rock and roll nerd
And I'll just leave this right here
