trying to think of some covers that outdo the originals... right now i'm thinking nin's memoribilia is better than soft cell's. but obviously soft cell fans would disagree. so. have you heard someone cover a song by one of your favorite artists that you might consider as being equal, if not better? maybe the bad plus's version of flim is equal to the original... hmmmm |

System of a down redid "metro" which IMO was better by a long shot. |

Sepultura version of the Dead Kennedy's "Drug Me" was better than the original. IMO!!!!!!!!!111111 |

Primal Scream and Kate Bush - Some Velvet Morning. Hell Interface (Boards of Canada) - Trapped (uses the acapella, but the rest is significantly different to be considered a different version rather than a remix) |

I am sure that many of the remixes by aphex or autechre are better than the originals but is a remix a cover? |

Cradle Of Filth redid Iron Maidens "Hallowed By Thy Name"..... the original is very good, but Cradle's version is way fuckin better. |

When I saw the thread title, I first thought of nine inch nails - memorabilia is better than soft cell's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell yes thats a damn good one. |

I like trents version of "metal" better than gary's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
woah. alright then... i'll go ahead and take it as fact that nin memorabilia is better than soft cell's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, i call myself a nin fan, and i haven't even /heard/ soft cell's version of memorabilia. but yeah, word, nin's metal is way better than numan's version. that said, though, most covers are fucking awful |

squarepusher's version of "Love will tear us apart" ...SIKE |
||||||||
|
|

dope - you spin me round ratm - anything off of renegades, what a fucking quality album, oh yeah, and fuck the police and of course the donnie darko version of mad world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Al Green's 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'' is the best. Pure fuck. And I love all the Dylan songs that the Byrds touched up with their jingle jangle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HOLY CRAP i forgot all about Dope's version of You Spin Me Right Round, horrible band but a great cover |

strange brew (cream) covered by severed heads satisfaction (rolling stones) covered by devo some velvet morning (nancy sinatra & lee hazelwood) covered by slowdive blue moon (big star) covered by his name is alive fell from the sun (opal) covered by pale saints i'm set free (velvet underground) covered by terry bickers and bradleigh smith and of course all along the watchtower (bob dylan) covered by jimi hendrix |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
true on all along the watch tower |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radioheads live cover of the thief is far better than can's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even dylan said hendrix had recorded the definitive version... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as much as i like joy division, nine inch nails did a far better version of "dead souls" and if ANYONE says Squarepushers version of "love will tear is apart" is better than joy divisions then your an absolute muppet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
britney spears - satisfaction, as well. far better. |

L5D's cover of 'motion picture soundtrack' originally by radiohead is far better to my ears |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BUT IT IS BETTER I SWEAR IT! i almost listened to the whole original but (you'll hate me for this) my brain goes 'WARNING 80's IS CRAP' and i put in squarepusher and go 'ahh this sounds much better'. BAM. i think i'm just too young to enjoy the 80's. metal and pop from that time sounds like utter shite to me. |

Type O Negative's cover of the Beatles' Day Tripper/If I Needed Someone/I Want You [She's So Heavy] My Dying Bride's amazing cover of their own Sear Me |

Red House Painter's versions of a lot of songs are better than the originals: "Silly love songs" by Paul McCartney, "Shock me" by Kiss, "Like a rock" by Simon and Garfunkle and "All messed up" by The Cars to mention a few of them. Teenage Fanclub's version of "Tambourine Man" by Bab Dylan is also one of my fave coversongs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the >€ cover is very disappointing check The Gathering versions of "In power we entrust the love advocated" original of Dead Can Dance, and the great song "When the sun hits" originally made by Slowdive, if these aren't better than the originals then they are VERY close to being it word |

Since NIN is being mentioned so much, I like NIN's "A Warm Place" better than "Crystal Japan" by David Bowie. It's not exactly a cover but you wouldn't be able to convince anybody who listened to both that it wasn't. I think Reznor did "Dead Souls" justice but I don't think it tops the original. Anyone like his cover of "Get Down Make Love"? I think his cover of "Supernaut" (with 1000 Homo DJ's) is better than the original. I hope metalheads don't target me for that. A few others off the top of my head: Sonic Youth - Rowche Rumble (The Fall) Peter Murphy - Final Solution (Pere Ubu) Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie) Joy Division - Sister Ray (The Velvet Underground) [note: I like almost any cover of Sister Ray more than the original, even New Order does it justice] Siouxsie and the Banshees - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us (Sparks) Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence (The Beatles) [note: I tend to like covers of the Beatles more than the originalsl] |
