Best Cover Songs

[okterrific]

One of the very few cover songs that i believe is better than the original is Fiona Apple's version of the Beatles - across the universe.

great song from the movie Pleasantville.

I used to have a tape of Pearl Jam covers that were all pretty good. I liked Beast of Burden,Baba O'Riley and The Kids are Alright. It was interesting to hear their version of Dock of the Bay.

Couple off the top of my head...

Little Wing by SRV

Wild Horses by the Sundaes (Sundays?)

Oh...my ...GOD. Are you KIDDING?

I know you said you get flamed for it but my god. That is an AWFUL HORRIBLE re-make that should have never happened.

Yelling stuff at the top of your lungs doesn't make stuff good. The way the new version is sung is so vastly obnoxious that a part of me dies.

I mean I'm glad the song brings you pleasure, but Please please reconsider. I just can't have people going around saying Shinedowns version is better. Just cant have it!

The versions of 'Mustang Sally' and 'Midnight Hour' in The Commitments are excellent. Urge Overkill's cover of 'Girl, you'll be a woman soon' is superb as well. All three originals are good, but the covers are way better IMO.

But it won't, because electric guitar + some shredder + classical music = crap.

FYI, Rush is releasing a new album full of covers. I've only heard a couple of the songs but they are pretty tight.
