thought it might be an interesting topic
Johnny Cash/hurt: Well, obviousy. I this is the first one people think of when the you say superior covers (even Trent Rezner thinks it was better)
Eva Cassidy/ Time after time:' I'm not a huge fan of hers. But I think, similar to Cash, she came up with the truer version of the song.
Amy Winehouse/ will you still love me tomorrow
Tainted love/soft cell.
Also, while I don't think AAF's version of Smooth criminal is better (at least vocally), I think the instrumental is probably better.

"Mad World" by Gary Jules (originally by Tears For Fears). Simply beautiful.

American Woman by Lenny Kravitz is very VERY close in my book.

"Turning Japanese", covered by Liz Phair A lot of the Motown hits were actually sung by many of the other groups in the fold. (For instance, "War" was a Temptations song Edwin Starr took and made into a hit.) And a new discovery on YouTube, "Piece Of My Heart" by Margaret Becker.  |

Both versions are awesome, but I like Metallica's Am I Evil? more than the original one by Diamond Head.

I know that Sloop John B is an old folk song that the Beach Boys found and recorded but does a non- Beach Boys recorded version exist? |
