Back on topic...

Emo music by emo band, one of the emo bands I like. Original is by Kate Bush. I prefer cover by Placebo .

Original is Britney Spears, one of her hit songs. I find Travis cover to be superior. When I was young everybody knew this song but times changed so I need to actually mention that this is Britney Spears song.

There's also Cocaine by Eric Clapton here but thing is, I believe that original by JJ Cale is actually better. Clapton's version is way richer but I like minimal sound of the original. Matter of taste tho.

Now this is a tricky one. It was composed by JJ Cale just like Cocaine and some other famous Clapton's songs but was recorded by Clapton first, then by Cale. There are couple live versions floating around but I like this Clapton's version the best:

Another live cover of the song recorded by the same band. However this live performance is so different from studio version, it can be considered cover, at least by me lol. Certainly one of the better live performances ever. Mostly because of drummer's performance near the end. Mark is just as good but we're used to him being brilliant guitarist.

I was just bumping the original Ginuwine when it popped up on the radio the other day. All those white people looking at me funny.

Not even close to being better than original in any way. Actually this version is a disgrace and you must be deaf from listening to this screaming mongrel to think it is better than Judas Priest original. Apart from terrible vocals I want to drown in a deepest well on Earth, there's also lack of original tempo which is slowly building to the very end. This cover has no feeling to it because drum section is incredibly weak, doesn't move me in a way original does (every time). Also solo is rather crappy powermetalesque attempt at creating something new and good. Compared to original's solo which is possibly one of the best guitar solos of all time.

If you want to listen to metal bands doing covers, these are way better choices:

Not bad but Phil Collins is too damn brilliant to be replaced by anybody else.

This is actually awesome and somewhat brilliant cover.

Not better than the original but 100x better than the Disturbed cover.

[Leshma]

I don't like it, same style as original only worse and overly melodic. Not my cup of tea. In the range of million youtube nobodies covering popular songs.

While we're at crappy covers, I think Come With Me by Puff Dady takes the cake. While not technically full cover, just music it is still terrible. Just shows how before its time Kashmir was and still is.

[Asheram]

Yeah well Disturbed cover was crappier imo. I took you for someone who isnt main stream and thats so main stream it makes me gag. Hell its so main stream it comes up before the 1million times better original song when sound of silence is typed into youtube.

[Leshma]

Of course it does. Many covers by currentlly popular bands end with 100+ million views while old original song has quarter of it.
