We all know what covers that are just cheap cash ins, or attempts to gain attention, but what about the song covers that are just better than the original, the ones that make the original look like the cover. They are far and few between. For me it would have to be Nirvana's cover of Man Who Sold the World

The three cover versions better than the original going without saying;

"Hurt" - Johnny Cash"
"Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley
"All Along the Watchtower" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

And some others;

"Your Love" - Bon Iver
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World" - Israel Kamakawiwio'ole
"Such Great Heights" - Iron & Wine

Good list there, very much agree with Jimi Hendrix, he can make any song sound like a cover.
ya beat me to it :P i was just about to mention Johnny Cash's "Hurt"

I'm sure I'll remember another song in five minutes or so, but here's the first few off the top of my head that I personally think may just be able to surpass the originals.

 

* Emperor's cover of A Fine Day to Die by Bathory

* Psyclon Nine's cover of You Know What You Are by Ministry

* Sodom's cover of Iron Fist by Motorhead

* Strapping Young Lad's cover of Room 429 by Cop Shoot Cop

First, you are dead wrong about The Man Who Sold the World.

Second,  I'd say Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams.
Also Rage Against the Machine's covers of "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "Ghost of Tom Joad" by Cypress Hill and Bruce Springsteen respectively.

Jolene and Walking With A Ghost by The White Stripes

Stone Temple Pilot's cover of Led Zepplin's "Dancing Days"

Yh, i would of gone with hurt too, but also this cover of Billie Jean by Aloe Blacc.

Love it more than the original, sorry michael

as always...theres this...i also think the Otis version is better than the original...

Good choice, the original is much to 80s cheese for me, but Jules managed to get some real emotion out of this song.
