This I agree with, 100%. That is one of my favourite songs!
Yes, the version of Easy by Faith No More is absolutely fantastic, but the original song is also very good. For my money, believe it or not, and before it got horribly overplayed, The Ataris cover of "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley was far better than the pseudo-80s synth original. That, and they referenced Black Flag instead of the Grateful Dead. Right on.

Motorhead's cover of "Stand By Your Man" is pretty rad.

The original is a *** song by some hair metal band I can't remember.

Oh, I just thought of another one, Laibach's cover of "Live is Life" by Opus.

Here's the original:



And Laibach's infinitely better fascist marching tune cover of it:

The original is by no means bad, that defeats the whole purpose of this thread.

drain sth covered motorhead's ace of spades, and made it better than the original (imo) and judas priest covered fleetwood mac's green manalishi much better than the original. in both cases the original wasn't awful but the cover pwned

So then you shouldn't have posted.

The thread has a specific purpose.
