Yeah, they can. Been missing Johnny Cash lately, Disturbed did a great job on S&G's Sounds of silence. They put life, feeling in like S&G couldn't. Johnny doing Hurt? Different than 9" nails but so good.

Nice thread idea. I can name a couple covers off the top of my head that I believe were better than the originals. Santana did a great cover of Fleetwood Mac's, "Black Magic Woman", and the Jimi Hendrix Experience did a wonderful cover of Bob Dylan's, "All Along The Watchtower". I think both of these blew away the original versions. I'll be back with more choices in a bit.

I think Manfred Man's version is better than Springsteen's original.

Without a doubt, Mike. Good call!

I prefer The Byrds' cover version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" over Bob Dylan's original. I like George Harrison's cover version of "If Not For You", more than Dylan's original version. I also prefer Linda Ronstadt's cover version of "When Will I Be Loved", over the original version by The Everly Brothers.

I also prefer Linda Ronstadt's version of "Blue Bayou" over Roy Orbison's original version. I DO like Roy's version, I'm just more impressed by Linda's outstanding cover version.

To my ears, Three Dog Night's cover version of, "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" is much better than the original version by Randy Newman. Three Dog Night completely modified Randy's version to make it something special.

Those are both great covers.
Disturbed is awesome.
