Highway to Hell - Wintersox

snapmcd · 08-29-2009, 10:40 AM

Easy by Faith No More.

A very faithful cover, but still awesome.

Slightly Stoopid - Leavin On a Jet Plane (John Denver)

kydmb99 · 08-29-2009, 10:59 AM

I like SRV's version of Voodo Chile better....

Penguins71 · 08-29-2009, 11:07 AM

Also Guns N Roses' Aint It Fun>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Original by the Dead Boys

grace2 · 08-30-2009, 03:08 PM

Corduroy Boy · 01-04-2010, 11:36 AM

Ryan Adams- Wonderwall

popped into my head real quick. It destroys the original, absolutely slays it.

Also, I don't know if it's better but Stevie Wonder's version of We Can Work It Out is amazing and equal in greatness to the original.

harryhoudini · 01-04-2010, 11:53 AM

mr. grieves by tv on the radio

not necessarily better than the pixies, but an awesome take on the song.

RhodyDMBFan · 01-04-2010, 01:17 PM

Any cover of any Bob Dylan song.

Proudest_Raider · 01-04-2010, 01:21 PM

I don't think these were mentioned but I might have just missed them.

White Stripes--Jolene (Dolly Parton)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zskw3mCQFL4

Ray Lamontagne--Crazy (Gnarls Barkley)--Still love the original though...Just depends on the mood.

Some that jump to mind (and I'm sure have been listed already):

Last Kiss, Rockin in the Free World, Crazy Mary by Pearl Jam
All Along the Watchtower-Jimi Hendrix, DMB
Mrs. Robinson-The Lemonheads

lockman21 · 01-04-2010, 01:40 PM

People honestly like Ryan Adams Wonderwall better?

Yuck.

RhodyDMBFan · 01-04-2010, 01:48 PM

Tool - No Quarter

thom hudson · 01-04-2010, 01:49 PM

American Music (Violent Femmes) - The Hold Steady

I love how Craig Finn doesn't sound like he's into the song until the words "did you do too many drugs? I did too many drugs..." .

Cliff Elliott · 01-04-2010, 06:45 PM

Neil Young's Hey Hey My My, covered by Oasis:

While it is a really creative and fun cover.. I gotta say it doesn't come close to the original. Snoop Dogg's flow on this track is.. well its early 90s Snoop.
