I almost always prefer original recordings of songs and think that bands tend to ruin songs by making different versions. But I am in love with the Metallica version of Sabbra Cadabra and strongly prefer it over the original (Black Sabbath) version. I also love Christmas Canon by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra more than any other version of Canon in D.
What about you?

I LOVE CHRISTMAS CANON.
There are several other covers I like more than the original:
Metallica – Whiskey in the Jar
Stone Temple Pilots – Dancing Days
Rasputina – Brand New Key
Nataly Dawn – Book of Love
Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah
16 Horsepower – The Partisan (originally Leonard Cohen)

@EffieTrinket: Whiskey in the Jar by Metallica is a good one. I guess I like a lot of Metallica covers better than their originals, actually.
And Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is a good one too. There’s also a great Christmas version of that song by a band called Cloverton.
