song covers better than the original?


Which song covers do you prefer over the original?

For me:

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
Siousxie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence
Madonna - Fever
Elvira - Burning Up
Madonna - American Pie (I'm probably gonna get castrated for this one)
R. Kelly - National Anthem (guilty pleasure)

Forever Young - Patty Smyth
We Could be Heros - The Wallflowers
Losing My Religion - Lacuna Coil

Sweet Dreams was a hell of a remake
Manson nailed it

I prefer White Lion's version of Radar Love to Golden Earring's

A Boy Named Sue is much better done by Johnny Cash than Shel Silverstein.
All Along the Watchtower by Jimi blows Bob’s away.
I think Richie Havens version of Here Comes the Sun is better than the Beatles.
Sail by Devildriver beats AWOL Nations.
