cover versions better than originals
been listening to a lot of music over the past few days for one reason or another & have inevitably heard a few covers
imho, there are some that are actually better than the originals, such as.... Faith No More - Easy RHCP - Fire RHCP - Higher Ground Therapy? - isolation Nirvana - man who sold the world what are your thoughts? any covers you think are better than the originals....or any of those i've suggested you disagree with?
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

limp bizkit - behind blue eyes
even tho the whos version is great, i think it sounds better, apart from the bit in the middle where he starts singing something dodgy and sounds a bit crap

Faith No More - Easy, without doubt the best version there is of this song
 Not really a big RHCP fan, so I can't say I know those two. A few of my suggestions would be. Metallica - Turn The Page Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles Guano Apes - Big In Japan

Agree with Petrefax, Faith No More - Easy is superb.
And Fleetwood Mac's version of Songbird I prefer to the original somehow... Mind you I dunno if Eva Cassidy's was the original? Someone care to inform me? Lol

Man im sure I should be able to think of some, but I can't
It's more of a remix but I think the Sasha and Digweed version of Enjoy the Silence is better than the depeche mode one. |

Agree with most of these, but smooth criminal is far better left to jacko himself imo
I think the only one that ain't been mentioned is Metallica - Whiskey in the jar  Jeff Goldblum : Beating alien invasions with Mac Powerbooks since 1996 XBL & PSN Tag : MortsApprentice

Yes, I was joking
Jamie Cullum has done some very good covers, several of them for Radio 1's live lounge

out of interest, is there anywhere online where you can find out if a cover version of a song has been done?
E> http://www.coverinfo.de/main.php?page=lang - german, but looks like it could be quite good
