Hurt by Johnny Cash
My Chemical Romance did a cover of All I Want For Christmas Is You. Which is way better then the Mariah Carey one.
Seether - Careless Whisper
Im gonna be a bit tangental. I don’t like much original elvis stuff and I like the beatles but rock matured a lot after them. So often I like remakes of both better than the originals.
99 red balloons by Goldfinger
Faith by Limp Bizkit
500 miles by Less Than Jake
Anything by Bob Dylan done by literally anyone else.
Dylan can write beautiful music. He just can’t sing for shit.
This is how I feel about all Stones songs too.
Excellent answer, hard to beat that. Man could write some songs but goddamn is he grating to listen to
Hard disagree on that one. I fucking love Dylan.
Pink Pomy Club by Gwar
I saw them do this live, basically the spew was on nonstop throughout.
West End Girls by Gwar
Every cover GWAR did for AV Club kicks ass
Their She Bop is a great cover too.
Girls Just Want to have Fun, by Cindi Lauper.
Walk Me Out in the Morning Dew by The Jeff Beck Band.
This is the original for those unaware.
Room 429 by Strapping Young Lad
Pet Shop Boys cover of “Where the Streets Have No Name (Can’t Take My Eyes Off You)” - it’s a two-fer; both songs are pretty insipid on their own but their cover / mash-up is fantastic.
wow. where the streets have no name is definately in my top echilon of songs.
I’m sorry. I just loathe U2. Not as much as I loathe Journey, but it’s pretty close.
yeah we just have different tastes. While not my favorite they are firmly in my second tier of muscicians for me.
Purple Rain covered by The White Birch (Norway)
Power of thy sword by Manowar is just meh while Rhapsody of Fire’s cover is eargasm
