Hey guys,

I was listening to my ipod the other day and noticed I had more than a few covered songs in there.I like the original songs as well. What about you guys? Any songs get covered that you like better than the original?

    I don't know if it's necessarily better than the original, but I LOVE the FFDP cover of "Bad Company".

    Agree with I Can't Make You Love Me - Adele - surprisingly better than the original :)
    I was shocked by Ordinary World - Red - and not just because they're my favorite band

    Usually don't like covers better than originals, but those two are exceptions.

    I love that cover by Five Finger Death Punch! Its awesome!

    My favourite cover is "Chris Issac's" Wicked Game covered by Stone Sour. So much better than the original.

    And "Cameo's" Word Up by KoRn :P
