oooooooh

johnny cash- hurt

That song was written as part of a concept album and really only makes sense when listened to along with the other NIN songs.

 

[Icy Gull]

Mr Tambourine Man by The Byrds, so much better than Dylan's

 

[Icy Gull]

I heard it through the grapevine - Creedence Clearwater Revival, for me better than Marvin Gaye's version.

Paul Young - Wherever I lay my Hat was a top cover as well !

 

[wigman]

OASIS' version of My Generation is better then The Who.

An album I quite like but I still think Cash did Hurt better.

 

[gullshark]

Anything william shatner covers clearly rules...

 

[withdeanwombat]

Impossible.First is best.

 

[bhanutz]

McFly's version of Don't stop me now wipes the floor with Queens version!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Ciccone Youth - Addicted to love

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

There appears to have been a mistake , clearly the correct answer is

Walk On By - The Stranglers

 

[Grendel]

Thing is, I really like Cohen, but Various Positions is a pretty cack album. Songs of Love & Hate was, for me, his finest hour.

Walk On By - The Stranglers

That is a quality cover.

 

[Statto]

This is quite a controversial one, but I reckon the puff daddy version of missing you was better than the police.

[¡Cereal Killer!]

99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger is better than Blondies (although I haven't heard the original German version)

All I want for xmas is you by My Chemical Romance MUCH better than the Mariah Carey one.

All Day and all of the night - The stranglers

Faith - Limp Bizkit
