The song Chocolate is a good example for me of a Cover saving the Original.
Never liked the colour of the Original's vocals, so that feminine touch won me over.

Cover by D W N T W N


Original by The 1975

 

[HelpTheWretched]

It's actually I Am The Walrus and Oasis done the best cover

.....Walrus. I knew that.

Here's another favourite cover, Saul Williams doing U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

If you detect a bit of Nine Inch Nails in the sound, that's because Trent Reznor produced the album it's on.

He is a knob he only ever turns for rap artists. I loved it when he accidentally turned a few years back to someone he would never have turned for and he was stuck with the shit singer for the next round

Paint it black is a great song but 3 Steps Ahead done the best Hardcore version

i'd like the intro of the other better, but allright, paint it black can't be better then 3 steps ahead.

Aw, can't beat the Fast Show for an intro!

It doesn't get much better than this. Mike Mccready from one of my favourite bands Pearl Jam and my favourite Scottish singer doing a cover of one of my favourite songs

Backstreet Boys - No One Else Comes Close
At first, I didn't even know this was a cover, as I didn't hear the original version until after I heard this. Said original was done by R&B singer Joe only a couple years before BSB's version came out. Honestly, I would love to hear both artists perform this song together. Joe did do a song with *NSYNC that's really good, so why not do one with Backstreet.

Britney Spears - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
According to WatchMojo, this is one of the worst cover versions ever made. I disagree. Maybe I just have bad taste. *shrug*

En Vogue - Hooked on Your Love
I'm not too familiar with the Aretha Franklin original, but I always liked this version. It's faithful to the Motown sound of the original, which makes it kinda stand out on an early 90s R&B album like Funky Divas.

I'll have to come back and link these later since I'm still a New Member and can't post links yet.

Not a cover, but remixes:

While posting on another thread, I just remembered another cover I like. Now that I can post links, I can actually link it.

*NSYNC - Just Got Paid
Maybe it's just another case of me hearing this version first, especially given my love of New Jack Swing. The original took a little getting used to. Even now, I try to sing *NSYNC's slightly altered lyrics when the original comes on.

Another somewhat classical song done by a great many setup but I shall be kinder on your browser than my ghostriders in the sky post, and can still do a German band as the unofficial theme with the added bonus of it actually being the cover I like (had several options actually but that one I like best)
Son ar chistr
Alan Stivell's version, arguably the one that popularised it even if it is somewhat older still

Dutch version

alt version thereof


dArtagnan - Was wollen wir trinken
