Successful cover versions

Fightstar covering a song called Superman by Flaming Lips....definitely better than the original!

you heretic! ;-)
 
Anyone heard Enter Shikari's cover of Faithless - Insomnia?

Incredible!

It will only get approved of those who like heavy music, if you don't then i wouldn't bother listening :D
 
Smiths fans wont agree but I personally Noel's version of There is a Light that Never Goes Out is better than the original

Would have to disagree with everyone who has posted covers of Bob Dylan......his songs sound much better when sung by him.....including All along the watchtower.

Same rule applies to Cat Stevens records....just leave them!

Would have to agree with the Foo Fighters cover of Band on the run.

I would like to throw Paul Weller covering Close to You, into the mix!

I suppose it's all down to personal taste!!
 
"She's not there" by santana

Miles better than the original Zombies version.

Soft Cells version of Tainted Love, maybe?
Oh and Bauhaus's cover of Ziggy Stardust!!

BOTH... NO!
Tainted Love an original Northern classic... Soft Cell...nah.
How could anybody cover a Bowie classic and do it better?
well said, just read the thread from the start and was wondering how long it would take for someone to defend Gloria Jones.
