Original songs improved when covered [by another band]

yeah gui that some old guy would be leonard cohen..

and i dunno who Newton Faulkner is, but i know Jose Gonzalez did a cover of teardrop recently too.

No Mike, not Leonard Cohen. He wrote it but the version I refer to is by someone with last name Cale

currently loving the kelly clarkson cover by a day to remember. the song is since u been gone btw

John Cale, founder member of the Velvet Underground.

That's the one, Mark!

On related news, Axl Rose has released his album to the recording company to sell it

sorry to bump this thread, but this is an awsome cover of Phill Collins - In the air Tonight.

Pendulum's cover of Coldplay's Violent Hill.

Dude... wtf is that?

Not necessarily an improvement, but pretty @#$%& good.

@ Monil: How exactly is that an improvement? :P

Monil mate very nice

Heard this earlier, can't say I'm a Paramore fan but I'm liking this, pretty cool cover of Use Somebody

I'm sorry, but the British youth have some pretty f*cked up taste

I was listening to Radio 1 last week and heard Paramore do that Use Somebody cover live. Pretty damn good, and Hayley Williams' voice is awesome. She doesn't look bad in that vid either

On topic, Muse did a pretty awesome cover of House Of The Rising Sun:



Also, The Ataris did a brilliant cover of Boys Of Summer a few years back.

Oh man, this song is nostalgia gold!
I used to listen to Atlantic 252 myself in the early/mid 90s. I think I still have some cassette tapes somewhere of music I taped off of it. :D

Makes the song a little more better to my taste. I mean the Violent Hill by Coldplay for me was just poor imo.

@EC83 How can I forget that song! !

Oh and this

Muse - Feeling Good



Muse - Man Of Mystery (The Shadows Cover)

Yep, Muse have done some great covers; I love how they always do something new and creative with the song's sound.

Radio 1 are hammering that Paramore cover - they played it again this morning.

For comedy song covers, you can't beat a bit of Weird Al. :D

Amish Paradise. Oh yes!

In This Moment's cover of "Call Me" is making something of a mixed impression on me. I think the chorus is an improvement, but her voice isn't strong enough to do the verses justice.
