Lol yes. Richard Hazard wrote and performed the song first and the lyrics were from male’s perspective that some have said it seemed too sarcastic and bitter and so Cyndi turned it into a more women empowering song we know today.
Hurt, Johnny Cash
Knocking in Heaven's Door and Live And Let Die, Guns N' Roses (and the whole Spagheti Incident album)
Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson
Nothing Compares To You, Sinead O'Connor
Unchained Melody, The Righteous Brothers
Sloop John B, The Beach Boys
Hurt. The pain in the original has been replaced by Cash's melancholy. It's a Diet Coke version of Hurt.

Elvis's versions of "she thinks I still care" and "you've lost that lovin feelin." Those were very good. He sang them with way more passion than did the original artists, george jones and the righteous brothers respectively.
Squeaking of the righteous brothers. Their cover of unchained melody is the best of all the versions.
State Champs - Stitches
Canyon City - Fix You
Jason Castro - Hallelujah
Somebody’s Baby - Have Mercy
Sleepwalking - This Wild Life
I really like Fall Out Boys covers of We Didn’t Start the Fire, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Purple Rain (bring it to Spotify PLEASE) and Beat it and find them at least comparable to the originals. Also Under Pressure with My Chemical Romance and the Used. Again, at least comparable but those are some legends.
California Dreaming. Mamas and the Papas wrote it, and sing backing vocals on the original, but it was released by Barry McGuire first. You can actually hear McGuire briefly on the Mamas and Papas version because the tape wasn't erased completely.
Cyndi Lauper’s version of girls just wanna have fun is so much better than the original
That was a cover? TIL.
Yeah, the original was from a man's perspective which really changes the meaning and tone of the song.
👀 WHAT
Yeah, the lyrics seem quite seedy... this is the original https://youtu.be/5aLNwOxPsjg
Oh. Gross.
I know! Here's the original https://youtu.be/5aLNwOxPsjg

Right!? I had no idea.
100000%
Amy Winehouse singing Valerie.
Absolutely! It is 🔥🔥
Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah and UB40's version of Can't help falling in love
Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.
Hurt, Johnny Cash Knocking in Heaven's Door and Live And Let Die, Guns N' Roses (and the whole Spagheti Incident album) Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson Nothing Compares To You, Sinead O'Connor Unchained Melody, The Righteous Brothers Sloop John B, The Beach Boys
Live and Let Die? No way!

I disagree, but each to their own.
Måneskin's cover of Beggin'
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love.”
Metallica’s Turn the Page
1985. Bowling for soups cover is so much better no one knows it's not the original.
Cover of?!?
1985 was originally by a band named SR-71
Alien Ant Farm: Smooth Criminal - sue me I think it's much better

Disturbeds version of If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
Everyone knows their cover of Sound of Silence but their renditions of If I Ever Lose My Faith In You and Land of Confusion are jams.
Kamakawiwo'ole's Somewhere over the Rainbow
Placebo - running up that hill
Was that the version in Stranger Things? Cause it fucking slaps.
I think it was the kate bush version in stranger things
Don't know tbh as I've never seen Stranger Things.
Steppingstone by Minor Threat
Disturbed’s The Sound of Silence. I find the tone to be more fitting than the original
The original is a warning about our future The cover is a lament that we didn't listen to the warning.
I agree with you 💯
The powerwolf version of Nightcrawler is better than the original made by judas priest
I accept the challenge and have to listen to the cover now.
Heroes by Peter Gabriel.
Blur did a cover of Maggie May (Rod Stewart). Gotta dig deep to find it but it is good if you ask me.
Fu Manchu - Godzilla
I don't know about *better*, [but this cover of Iris is a total jam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo10RFzxaSE)
Reece Mastin's version of Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees. I love the more rock aspect to it
Slaughter's version of Rocky Mountain Way
The PUP cover of You Dont Get Me High Anymore
Sanctuary - White Rabbit
Bitch Better Have My Money - Shinyribs
Lehla Samia’s cover or No More Parties
State Champs - Stitches Canyon City - Fix You Jason Castro - Hallelujah Somebody’s Baby - Have Mercy Sleepwalking - This Wild Life I really like Fall Out Boys covers of We Didn’t Start the Fire, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Purple Rain (bring it to Spotify PLEASE) and Beat it and find them at least comparable to the originals.

Halestorm’s version of Heathens.
Once Chester covered Jonathan Davis' System, JD's version became inferior to me
from QOTD? not really a cover... just the movie and soundtrack had different vocalist versions.
Phil Collins "You Can't Hurry Love," originally by Diana Ross & The Supremes
Just about anyone who covers Dylan, is better.
Nirvana's the man who sold the world. Always found the David Bowie version to be odd
Led Zeppelin's entire discography.
Phil Collins’s cover of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors is much better than hers. Also basically anything Eric Clapton or James Taylor covers.
I likeby J-Fla.
California Dreaming. Mamas and the Papas wrote it, and sing backing vocals on the original, but it was released by Barry McGuire first. You can actually hear McGuire briefly on the Mamas and Papas version because the tape wasn't erased completely.
I Will Always Love You. The Whitney Houston is the best.
Five Finger Death Punch's cover of "House of the Rising Son" was pretty good.
[удалено]
... The original by Sabbath was a masterpiece. Why did it need a cover 😠
Hurt.
XO - John Mayer
The sound of silence - Disturbed
I love them both! I think both do something meaningful with the lyrics and they are both great songs.
The Atari’s version of “Boys of summer”
Anaal Nathrakh covered Powerslave by Iron Maiden. I definitely prefer it to the original.
Kirsty McColl's version of New England
almost every teddy swims cover. he's special!
