"Original, cover, original, cover..."

Some times the original of a song it way better than the cover eg. Voodo Chile, but sometimes, the cover is better eg. Smooth Criminal. What other examples are there?

I'd have to argue with you over whether the AAF version is better than Jacko's, but never mind.

Better cover: surely an argument for Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower by Dylan.

Oh, and the Travis version of Britney's Hit Me Baby One More Time is pretty funny.

Worse cover: no argument for Geri Halliwell's version of It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls!

Papa Roaches dastardisation of Nirvanas Lithium is one of the worst i've heard.

Faith was better by Limp Bizkit, whatever you all say.

Message in a bottle by Machine head was awful.

and as for "while my guitar" by Spineshank... PANTS!

Anything by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes.

'Tomorrow', 'My Favourite Things' or 'You've Got A Friend' for example.

Deftones & Far - Savory (Jawbox Cover)

Deftones - The Chauffer (Duran Duran Cover)

Far - Monkey Gone To Heaven (Pixies Cover)


Check em out, all by two bands lol!

I think I love you- Less than Jake- originally by no idea it's off Top Gun

My Generation- Greenday- originally by The Who I think

Machine Head- Message in a bottle- originally by Sting

Dare I say this one

Limp Bizkit- Faith what? it starts off good, sort of

Nirvana- The man who stole the world- no idea who the original by

How about Greenday's version of Eye of The Tiger, V98? I think.

Reaching up, na na na naaa
