Willie Nelson apparently wasn't aware of Elvis' or Brenda Lee's versions of "You were always on My Mind" when he recorded the song. Would that be considered a "cover"?

William Shatner covers 'Common People' from Pulp. If you haven't heard it before, hang in until at least the first reference to roaches.

I just learned a few weeks ago that this original existed. Always thought it was just an 80s tune:

No. It's all over the map from what I've heard.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet by Pearl Jam's Last Kiss is a great cover.

Probably the 2 best I think are of course
Johnny Cash doing NIN Hurt and
The Fugees Killing Me Softly

Maybe youre looking for more obscure ones though.

This is a great one. I've been listening to it recently. Certainly helps that I was all about 90's hip hop back in the day.

I love cross genre covers.

I like covers a lot but thinking of what is the "best" cover cover is difficult. There are a lot of covers I like the most but are pretty unknown. So I set my own rules.

  • First that it wouldn't be a song that is exclusively famous as the cover, to the point that in general it is not known there is an original (Example: Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You). This means that both the cover and the original had to have been popular on their own.
  • Second the cover has to do something different enough from the original so that it is really a new take on the song.
  • Third (and this is arguable) that the cover is better than the original.

So here is what I came up with (in no order):

  • Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
  • Gary Jules - Mad World
  • The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter
  • Reel Big Fish - Take on Me
  • Dynamite Hack - Boyz in the Hood
  • Orgy - Blue Monday
  • Dixie Chicks - Landslide
  • Metallica - Turn the Page
  • Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
  • Social Distortion - Ring of Fire

Dixie chicks' Landslide makes me angry. Smashing Pumpkins version is dope though.
