Covers Better Than The Original

[Corigan]

As much as I really dig Jimi's version, SRV slayed it -

 

[bearhart74]

 

[Ancientwhale]

 

[OllyW]

This one just edges the original...

 

[cheapbasslovin]

Two that I like not on the extensive (but nowhere near exhaustive) list above.

 

[edencab]

this one rocks out ..the Original is good too

 

[Jebberz]

I really like this one:



And this one too :

 

[Fishheadjoe]

Fishheadjoe

 

[Corigan]

Fear factory does a good cover if it too.

 

[JimB52]

Devo doing Satisfaction. Of course.

The Corrected Version

 

[Thumpin6string]

One of my favorites. The vocals are amazing.

 

[JimB52]

G L O R I A. Patti Smith


Louie Louie Iggy Pop


Wild Thing Jimi Hendrix

All Along the Watchtower Jimi

 

[Durham52]

 

[Corigan]

Primus doing master of puppets -

 

[Jeff K]

Hallelujah - Humble Pie (MUCH better than Ray Charles' original...)

 

[sxaxsx]

Or this cover of Pixies' My Velouria by Weezer -

Weezer better than the Pixies, sacrilege!

 

[darwin-bass]

Any cover of a Dylan song is an improvement in my book.

 

[sxaxsx]

16 Horsepower cover of Bad Moon Rising

 

[rojo412]

I would qualify these as "I like them as much (or almost as much) as the original" because the originals are great. But these were very good takes.




And it was already mentioned, but Frankie Goes To Hollywood doing "Born to Run" is EPIC. The bass solo is killer.

Also, this is a "self cover" but this version is awesome (and not just for the bassist's mullet):

 

[ZedLepp]

Just about everything done by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
