Covers that were better than the original

title is fairly straightforward, what song covers do you think were better than the original version?

I'd say:
"I Fought the Law" by the Clash
"War Pigs" by Faith No More (so shoot me, I liked this one better)
"Come Together" by Aerosmith
"In My Life" by Johnny Cash
"Hurt" by Johnny Cash
"Mad World" by Gary Jules
"Silver and Gold" by Joe Strummer
"Gloria" by Patti Smith (ok, debatable as to whether or not it's a cover, but I say it counts)

live version of Sympathy for the Devil on the B side of the Jesus on the Payroll EP by the Thrashing Doves may not be better ... but it cetainly is an equal.

Personal Jesus...Marilyn Manson.....I know everyone's gonna disagree with that one, even Seri likes the depeche Mode version better

I Will Survive...Cake


And Seri likes Mindless Self Indulgence's 'Tom Sawyer' better.....I think that's blasphemy... :p :)

I'm sure I have lots more, but that's all I can think of right now

Def. have to agree on that one, also agree on Hurt by Johnny Cash being better than the NIN version...

Pro-Pain has a cd of all covers called what else but "Run For Cover" that has some kick ass covers on it..here are just a few of the best tracks off that cd...
Iron Fist - Motorhead
Circle Of The Tyrants - Celtic Frost
Weeds - Life Of Agony
Refuse/Resist - Sepultura

I don't like the Clash's version of I Fought The Law, I always prefered the Dead Kennedys one. But neither better the original.
Sid doin' My Way! Hell yeh, that's some dope dope shit dude. Jane's Addiction did a pretty decent version of Sympathy For The Devil (unlike Guns N' Roses). A few I dig:

MOTORHEAD - Motorhead
SEPULTURA - The Hunt, Symptom Of The Universe & their version of Orgasmatron
NAILBOMB - Exploitation
NEIL YOUNG - Oh Lonesome Me
JUICY LUCY - Willie The Pimp
DEAD MOON - Milk Cow Blues
JIMI HENDRIX - All Along The Watchtower

Pretty much anything the Cramps re-work or cover is equal to or better than the original. Nick Cave's covers of The Singer and Wanted Man are fuckin' down aswell.
There's a bunch of shit I can't think of right now (a whole lot of 60s R&B should be on there but meh my brains slow this morning)
.... might come back to this one.

I'm a big acoustic fan. If theres an acoustic version and non-acoustic version of the song, 9.5/10 times, I'll like the acoustic version better

and I hadn't even thought of this when I started the thread (listening to "War Pigs" by Faith No More is what sparked it, btw)
