I’d never heard this version- it’s pretty awesome
Cover Songs That Kick The Original

Cinnamon Girl has some awesome drums and fits the Type O Negative sound.
"Meaningless art is vandalism. We are the vandals."
I knew the second one had to be on here sooner or later. It's such a great example of when the cover suits the cover artist better then the original artist.
The originator (Tom Petty) was more than happy to take a backseat to The Man:
Wilson Pickett- Hey JudeI was just coming in here to say
Jerry Garcia’s version of Dear Prudence
This is the original:
Clicking Settings > Playback speed > Custom > 0.8x gives the full effect.
I saw Chuck at an indoor venue back in 1969 or 1970. That same year I saw Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley.
I also saw a slew of other performers we've all made rich and famous. Chuck was an incredible showman who got the audience to enjoy itself. Muddy was the blues and Bo? He was one beat, one chord. I couldn't see that value then.

I think the Nonpoint cover of Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight is far superior to the original.

Five pages of comments and only one mention of Joe Cocker? And that mention a song that wasn't his greatest cover.
His cover of "With a Little Help From My Friends" was so good that Paul McCartny said when Cocker died, "I was especially pleased when he decided to cover 'With A Little Help From My Friends' and (. . . ) it was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful for him for doing that"
Cocker was such a s cover magician that the Beatles brought him in and gave him first choice of the songs on the Abbey Road album before it was released.
If I had to pick the best cover band EVER, it would have to be The Grateful Dead - the OG of cover bands.
The first one that always comes to mind (and I'm a big Cohen fan) is "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, supremely bested by Jeff Buckley.
One most people aren't aware of (and again, big Bon Scott fan here) is AC/DC's Bad Boy Boogie, restructured and given a new, dark yet charming breath by Mark Kozelek.
Agreed. One could argue that every song he covered, he made better than the original. She Came in Through the Bathroom Window is still my favorite.
