The Beatles ✅

And at the risk of being crucified by The Beatles fans here, I actually like the Spineshank version more.

lol

yeah okay but

those where they take over the old song and then a rapper comes
"Yo ho mother****er, ****ing shit you all sux!" and then a new bass and beat, and we got a new song!

i hate that!

ahh...

metallica - whiskey in the jar
that rocks also 😛

I liked the Limp Bizkit version but the original wasn't crap.

the limp bizkit version is awful. Fred Durst's voice isn't made to sing--at all.

And not knowing who did As My Guitar Gently Weeps...that's arguably the Beatles BEST song. Written by a Mr George Harrison, not the Lennon/McCartney duo.

Cake's version of I Will Survive is actually better than the original.
I forgot who did the great version of "Burning Ring of Fire", but it was great (though it did not equal Cash's version)
Gah, i can't remember all the great covers...

cover versions can be crap as all the covering band does is just play the song as if they were the real band.

however, some cover versions are much better than the orginal, and bring great music to a new generation.

Good Covers are:
Can't Stand - Feeder (of a Police track)
Just don't know what to do - White Stripes (the best video as well to go with it)
Kyle Cooks cover of a beetles song on 'live in Australia'

EB- Not sure if its the one you are thinking of or not, but Social Distortion did a good version of Ring of Fire.

i love the less than jake version of surrender
and the simple plan version of happy together

it depends..
sometimes cover versions are de hell better than the original..
but usually they suck 😕

I liked the Limp Bizkit version but the original wasn't crap

i dont see whats wrong with em!!!

Covers are not always bad
For example Placebos Running Up That Hill is not a bad cover.

But then again covers can suck sooooooo bad!!!
For example No Doubts It's My Life 😘
They raped a good song!! 😠
