I way prefer “One” by Mary J. Blige featuring U2 than the original by just U2.
Also prefer Johnny Cash’s “In My Life” to the Beatles.

Darius Ruckers “Wagon Wheel” is the business!
The SMASH Cast “Haven’t Met You Yet”
I prefer the Goldfinger cover of “99 Red Balloons” over the Nena original, “99 Luftballons”.
I like the Deftones cover of “Drive”. (Original by The Cars)
I love the Ramones’ version of “Baby, I love You”. (Original is The Ronettes)
Most of mine have been mentioned allready but for newer things I like the Pentatonics ft. Lindsay sterling version of Imagine Dragons’ radioactive. And I LIKE imagine dragons
@MissZeppelin: Volbeat’s cover of I Only Wanna Be With You (this is gonna be our cake cutting song!)
“Hey Ya” cover obadiah parker
“Heartless” by the fray
“Fast Car” Boyce Avenue
@MissZeppelin: I’m not a huge fan of covers but definitely have to check out some of these!
Iris by Sleeping with Sirens (original by Goo Goo Dolls)
Sweet Dreams by Emily Browning (original by Eurythmics)
LOVEEEEEE those two.
“Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” Led Zeppelin (Joan Baez)
“Thugz Mansion” 2Pac, Nas acoustic version (not sure if this counts but I love this stripped down version)
“I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” Coroner (Beatles)
“Mad World” Gary Jules/Michael Andrews (Tears for Fears)
“Skinny Love” Lindsey Pavao from The Voice (Bon Iver)
“Cocaine” Eric Clapton (JJ Cale)
“3” Glee Cast – such a huge guilty pleasure (Britney Spears)
“Toxic” Melanie Martinez from The Voice (Britney Spears)
There are probably more.
All the Marilyn Manson covers (Sweet Dreams, I Put A Spell on You, Tainted Love)
Deftones version of Drive
Rammstein – Stripped (original by Depeche Mode)
A Perfect Circle – Imagine (John Lennon original)
Saul Williams – Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 original)
And I know other Bees have mentioned the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt, but I absolutely cannot go past the NIN original. It makes me so irrationally mad when people think Johnny Cash wrote it.
The topic ‘What cover of a song do you strongly prefer over the original version?’ is closed to new replies.
