Songs where the cover was better than the original.

Revolution

Hurt by Johnny Cash has to be #1

crack

8/2/21 9:47am

It's Johnny Cash's best song

Hotlanta

8/2/21 9:54am

I agree it’s a good cover, but NIN original is still better. More pain in Reznor’s voice.

specsauce

8/2/21 10:17am

NIN's is manic-depressive, Cash's is regretful

Hotlanta

8/2/21 10:23am

Yes, they are both great in their own way as they are conveying different messages.

El Careeb

8/2/21 10:29am

I agree with much of your list save Faith. That version is pure garbage.

Sound of Silence by Disturbed is basically the U of U of covers. It praised by low class uneducated chest thumpers

IceBlueCoug

This needs to added to the list in it's place

IceBlueCoug

Strong ADDITION to the list

Revolution

8/2/21 9:51am

But honestly, is your OP a reverse?? Because it sure seems like it should be.

pink22

8/2/21 9:52am

It is not a reverse.

Revolution

Its trash

Backcountry

Fair point.

I like the Limp Bizkit version better

The mere suggestion that Metallica topped Seger should get this post deleted.
