Covers better than the Originals?

imo, Some cover songs are better than the original artists who made the song famous.
For example -
kimberley locke - Band Of Gold

Dwight Yoakam - Suspicious Minds

Do you know any covers that are better ?

“I Will Always Love You.” Original song by Dolly Parton.
Cover by Whitney Houston:

Original by Nine Inch Nails,

Johnny Cash covered it and it turned into a completely different song.

I really like this one. It is a cover of a Modest Mouse song.

I don’t know if it’s better than the original but it’s definitely more interesting.

That’s what I was going to post. I think The Disturbed’s cover is better than the original. It gives new meaning to the song.

Most people don’t realize this was a cover…

Then there are the standard WTF covers…

Some actually do a good job of jumping genres…

And then there’s just… DAMN.

It’s a creepy video but it’s a song I like and it was originally done in 1965.

Noo, the Simon and Garfunkel version is way better. I think Disturbed ruined Land of Confusion as well.

I’m not a Rihanna fan, I like this cover more than the original. I’m probably in the minority though :grin:

A remix of a cover that isn’t quite as good as the original, but I like it.
