Alternative rock cover of Ho Hey by the Lumineers. The original isn't bad per se but I don't enjoy listening to it. I don't like folk rock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uozMTmEjxHc original. Still good but I think the Manfred Mann was better.

Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' ‘Hurt’.

the coil version of “tainted love” is better than the soft cell version but i don't think i could choose between the coil version and the original gloria jones version!

I was about to come in here and say inb4 “Hurt” but I guess I'm too late.
Also I disagree very strongly with the notion that it's better. The changes Cash makes to the song strip away a lot of its meaning.

“Strange” - cover by R.E.M., original by Wire
“Love, Athena” - cover by Impaled Peach, original by The Sunshine Fix
“New York City” - cover by They Might Be Giants, original by cub
“Concrete and Clay” - cover by They Might Be Giants, original by Unit 4+2
“Fuzzy” - cover by Lemon Demon, original by The Incredible Moses Leroy

most of led zepplin's stuff

I was going to say Dream Theater's cover of Stargazer by Rainbow, but then I listened to the original and changed my mind; I can't decide which I like best

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

reason :P

Well I don't really like solos that much and I like the singing & sound better on “Rainbow Warriors”.

i do agree the riffs and singing are better on this song (except the chorus riff in Welcome Home)

I was going to mention Dazed and Confused as one of the most notable ones. A fantastic reinvention of a song.

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You is another

(I'm deciding whether Metallica's “Am I Evil” is better than Diamond Head's)

I like Fall Out Boy's cover of “What's This?” from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Infected Mushroom's cover of The Pretender.
Maybe I'm just not cut out to like the original - I would see why some would

Kyson's remix of Silent Night, which sort of counts as a cover.

Beatles covers of Chuck Berry songs like Roll Over Beethoven and Rock and Roll Music
