Agreed on both the above and I add

Lzzys G.N.R. cover of"Out Ta Get Me" especially the version she kept doing with Slash during his tour.

Lzzy and her band blow the originals out of the water.

Another Example is Halestorms version of Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind"

Saw em in the Masquerade here in Atlanta a year ago and have seen em 2 more times since. Awesome live band with great, strings, killer drums and her out of this world voice.

I honestly think Lzzy is the best female Rock vocalist since Ann Wilson of Heart!

"Bad Romance" covered by Hailstorm
Obviously the two songs Van Halen covered. Dancing in the streets and the kinks song ) I forgot.
Stopped listening to Van Halen when David left.

"Planet Caravan" by Pantera equals that of Back Sabbath.

Garth Brooks heard Billy Joel's song and loved it, but when Joel never released it as a single, Brooks people contacted his and got permission to release a cover.

Nope, and I prefer the original. Same with Pretty Woman. No offense to VH fans, I just prefer the original versions.

All of Marilyn Manson's and NIN's covers. I've never heard one that I didn't like more than the original.

I also like Queens of the Stone Age's version of White Wedding more than Billy Idol's.

(NIN's original version of Hurt is better than J. Cash's, IMO. Though I know that everybody, including Trent Reznor, disagrees with me.)

I also like The Deftones version of "Simple Man" equal to the original. Maybe not "better", but definitely equal. Their version of "Savory" by Jawbox is better than the original.

Cookie monster metal covers are stupid. The FFDP covers in particular are 'tardnados of fuckery that are a grave disservice to humanity. They should be flogged until they are dead.

Might not want to listen to REAL metal bands like Through The Eyes of the Dead, ZAO, or anything like that then. They don't do covers though.

Metal 'Rasputin' cover by Turisas is immeasurably better than the German disco original.

'Close to Me' cover by the Get Up Kids is definitely better than the original by The Cure.

I like Trent Reznor and Maggie O's cover of Immigrant song.

A woman's vocal range sounds oddly similar to Robert Plant's.

I cannot believe how many posted Metallica covering Turn the Page.

Hetfield cannot sing, never could. He sounds gayer than fuck trying to sing that song.

This is coming from a fan of theirs in the 80s...

For "atrocities of covers" I hereby nominate Sheryl Crow's "Sweet Child of Mine"

and Alanis Morisette's version of "King of Pain"

i am not sure if its "Gooder" as the OP put it but its certainly excelent.

They didn't just cover the song they made it their own which is how i like a cover. I want to hear how you would do it not just play it like the other guy.

That's just gooder, not gooderer as the title of the thread suggests. Still good, though.
