Covers better than Originals...

Walls of Jericho - "House of the Rising Sun" - and not just because I have a bit of a crush on Candace. Okay maybe a teensy bit.
Nonpoint - "In The Air Tonight"
Killswitch Engage - "Holy Diver"
Headstones - "Tweeter and the Monkey Man"

Dwight Yoakam - Suspicious Minds

sabotage - Cancer Bats
Hell is for children - Children of Bodom
Seperate Ways- A skylit drive
War Pigs - Cake

well, it isn't they are better than the original, they are just awesome.

I think every rock band post-Sabbath has covered War Pigs. Faith No More's version is my favorite.

I also heavily enjoyed Cake's version of War Pigs.

I'm sorry you were mistaken

I do have to find the The Zombies's version of Summertime

Edit: Found and somehow I have missed hearing it all these many years. It is a fantastic version. Thank you!

actually i'm not mistaken. Fleetwod did the original. Santana covered. Hoey covered.
And yea the zombies version and chet bakers are the best in my books.

Harry Pussy - Showroom Dummies (Kraftwerk)

you are 100% it was Fleetwood first I was just disagreeing with you about the better cover.

ooooh understood. Though I love heavily, santanas version, I can't get over the drums and guitar hoeys has to offer

hi all i love corey taylor's version of 'wicked game'. Also 'bad company' by five finger death punch rocks too.
