Covers that are better than originals

[HideTheRum]

As a Beatles fan, I never really cared for remakes much, but that's probably because The Beatles get covered more than any other artist. However, I have made some exceptions, and would like to see your opinions on the matter.

I think these covers are better than the original

Love Roller Coaster by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Tainted Love by Marylin Manson
Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica
Personal Jesus by Marylin Manson (Cash fans revolt!!)
Word Up by Korn - better than the original, but still not that good considering they only did it to piss of their recording label.
Blue Monday by Orgy
Riding On The Metro by System Of A Down

 

[Dr Grump]

Disagree with Tainted Love and Blue Monday.

Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus
I Fought the Law - The Clash
Because the Night - Bruce Springsteen (not strictly a cover because he wrote it, but his version is much better than Patti Smith's)

Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson
Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit
I Will Survive - Cake
Knockin On Heaven's Door - GNR

Signs - Tesla
Whiskey n The Jar - Metallica
Tainted Love - Marylin Manson

Turn The Page (Seger & Metallica) is actually a toss up.. I love the original, but I love the remake...

I just don't get Marilyn Manson (on why people like them/him...)....

I just don't get Marilyn Manson (on why people like them/him...)....

I don't really get why a lot of people automatically write him off based on looks before they ever give him half a chance.

Most people, even if they don't like him, like a song or two if they give it half a chance...

Rolling Stones aint too proud to beg.

Guns n roses Knockin on heaven's door

Jimi Hendrix all along the watchtower

 

[Zoom-boing]

My favorite Beatles song is 'Two of Us'. This version is by Aimee Mann and Michael Penn from the movie I Am Sam (great movie btw). I usually enjoy original Beatles but love this version.
