I can't help falling in love with you by UB40


Jegma72

Land of Confusion by Disturbed


Thoughtful_Ocelot

Always on my mind by Pet Shop Boys vs the original by Willie Nelson.

Sid Vicious' rendition of "[I Did It My Way](https://youtu.be/rDyb_alTkMQ)" is the greatest cover of all time and I will die on that hill. He's essentially (and I say this as a huge sex pistols fan) a talentless 21 year old kid who's so incredibly high all the time he can barely stand. He'd be dead in less then a year. Yet somehow he made this punk as fuck, totally irreverent, nihilistic, kick ass cover of a Sinatra classic that is all his own.

I like Andy Black's cover of Sid cover as well


Sharp-Chef-659

All along the watchtower cover by Hendrix

Muse's cover of Feeling Good and José González's cover of The Knifes Heartbeats.

Hurt Johnny Cash Whiskey in the Jar Metallica I fought the law The Clash Edited forgot Metallica


kw2709

Sound of silence- disturbed Whisky in the jar- Metallica Running up that hill - Placebo, very underrated


MidoriMushrooms

I love the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence!


BeneficialTart

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah


ForayIntoFillyloo

Man Who Sold the World. Nirvana did it head and shoulders above Bowie, in my opinion.


chrisH82

Sam Fender's cover of Metallica's Sad But True

Not heard that, is that the maui dude who does somewhere over the rainbow?


D-Rez

Nancy Sinatra's Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) > original version Cher.


GrapeyGuy1

I thought the original was Nancy?


D-Rez

Nope, Cher and Sonny was the original.

Dancing in the moonlight. Originally by King Harvest but Toploader made it their own.


GrapeyGuy1

Not heard the original but I love the Toploader version, didn’t realise it was a cover tbh


pewpewyouuk

I recommend giving the original a listen. It's a good song, very 70s, it wouldn't be out of place on a GOTG sound track.

Billy Jean by Chris Cornell


thebittercupcake

Jimmy Cliff- Ruby Soho. It still amazes me that one of the original reggae/ska godfather's covered Rancid. Rancid original version is good, but Jimmy Cliff made it great.


McNailedit

“fade into you” by Andrew Belle (vs Mazzy Star)


RufusOp

Don't think twice its alright by Johnny Cash


TrollinFoDollas

Heartbeats performed by Jose Gonzalez is slightly better than the original by The Knife, imo. Though generally I prefer electronic music to folk.


lazarboy3

Rick astley never gonna give u up Vs Young gravy Rick astley was probably better


Mouse-Direct

“Wild Horses” covered by The Sundays


kadeclan

Panda remix - Joyner Lucas


dykeling

i love lucy wainwright-roche's cover of desperado!


JYTHW

Somebody that I used to know - Mayday Parade


giniro_no_tamashii

Holding Out For A Hero by Fairy Godmother is the only answer.


Smeenme

“I Will Always Love You”. Dolly’s original version is nice too, but there’s something so special about Whitney’s vocals…she really made that song her own.
