GTFO even though I agree with Hurt, Man Who Sold the World, and All Along the Watchtower. To say that Shinedown did that song better is absolutely crazy.

I kind of like PJ's Crown of Thorns better than MLB's. Not the same song without Chloe though.

With you. I can't listen to the Shinedown version, and I like some other Shinedown tunes. Doesn't have the same feel.

I can't believe noone said 311 Love Song yet (or at least I didn't see it). The 311 version is 10x better than the original by the Cure.
