Question:

R&P: Awesome covers of horrible songs ?

by | earlier

Alright so in the last couple of days you guys gave me very bad covers of awesome songs, which was pretty funny.

Now I ask you to give me a song where the COVER is better than the ORIGINAL.

Can you do it?

Orginially by Bob Dylan - I love Dylan, but this song is like a pile of c**p compared to the cover. Haha

Well, Attitude by Guns N' Roses is as good as Attitude by The Misfits, because the guitar in the Guns N' Roses Version is better, but the singing in The Misfits version was better. So its close.

"I Am The Walrus" by Spooky Tooth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4F0bpvEV...

Totally trumps The Beatles.

Not to say the original was bad, far from it, this is just better is all.

*Edit*

LOL BoB!!!

Even though I'm a pop fan, I never really got into ABBA. So when I found out that Therion did a cover of their "Summernight City", I was disturbed.

It made the transition from pop to symphonic metal amazingly well though!
