Covers That You Like Better Than the Original

Tool- No Quarter

Stone Temple Pilots - Dancing Days

My Back Pages - The Byrds

To Love Somebody - Gram Parsons

Nonpoint- in the air tonight.
Makes the Phil Collins version sound terrible.

Metallica- Turn the page

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

B.B. King - Hummingbird

The Beatles - Twist and Shout

The Rolling Stones - (This May Be) The Last Time

Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright, Delta Lady

But Joe Cocker's With A Little Help From My Friends is the best cover ever.

"Oh Me," "Lake of Fire," and "Plateau" off the Nirvana Unplugged album. I love the Meat Pups and they wrote the songs--but the acoustic arrangements and Cobain's vocals infuse them with a stunning emotional vibe that makes your hair stand on end. Simply awesome music.

Johnny Cash - Hurt by NIN

Is this like the Caddyshack 2 response of the music board?

I don't know about better, but I would say just as well:

Come Together-Aerosmith

Big Yellow Taxi-Counting Crows (Joni Mitchell-enough said )

Walking in Memphis-Lonestar (I love the original, but I love the energy of the Lonestar version too)

Converge - disintegration ( the cure)

Crystal castles - not in love ( platinum blonde )

Love the originals too but these covers add a great new dimension to them
