Probably not better than the original, but really cool none the less.
Feeling Good cover by Muse is better than original by Nina Simone

Social Distortion - Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)
Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver (Dio)
The Offspring - Next To You (The Police) not sure it's better, but it's well done for sure
Can't remember if I posted this one back when the thread started but it's one of my favorite covers of all time. Turn it up.

One of the finest... love that one, too.
PM Dawn's "You Got Me Floating is another great track on that album. I always thought it'd make a great song for a ski flick:
Tipp and I saw about a 23 minute live version of that ^^^ with about 50 other people at the 9:30 Club in DC a few years ago, it was pretty mind-blowing.
Henry Kaiser does a lot of killer covers:
Gotta disagree on this. I like the Gary Jules version, but the Tears for Fears original is good, too. Tears For Fears' first album "The Hurting" was really good. They sort of turned to shit after that.Quote:

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Warren Zevon when, well, he was.

Weird, never looked into it. Just watched the Kurt documentary "Montage of Heck" and Courtney said he wrote it about her when she was on tour and Kurt thought she was sleeping with some dude.Quote:

Anyhow, not really a cover, Iggy and David Bowie co-wrote China Girl together, Iggy put his version out first but everyone tends to remember Bowie's version which was released after. This was taken from SXSW in Austin last month.

acid king cover of BTO
MM coover of BS,,,maybe not better but really cool...
I've always liked this one. For quite a while in Boston Evan Dando was going to be the next big thing.

That is pretty good. I barely know Dando or the Lemonheads, but this cover has always blown me away; it just hits me right in the feels. Actually, every cover on the album is righteous. Probably because Gram Parsons was that good.Quote:

That Lemonheads cover was put to good use in a classic Scorsese tracking shot in Wolf of Wall Street:

Dude. The Lyres? I love you man.
Knew you'd like that one.
The bass player from Romeo Void is a friend - he really likes that one too. He fancies himself a Kinks fan but hadn't heard it before it came up on my player one day.
I played this one (a live version) in the other thread not too long ago, but hey. Kinks.

This should have been mentioned by now; apologies if it already has...

All the better because the video includes Jessica Hahn, of Assemblies of God fame.
can't beat this one
