Everytime I go to think of a cover it turns out that the original is still great, so it makes it incredibly hard to think of bad songs that people have covered...

Here are songs that I think are just as good as the original or improved:

- Johnny Cash - 'Hurt' (original by NIN)
- Pain Of Salvation - 'Yellow Raven' (original by The Scorpions)
- Transatlantic - 'The Return Of The Giant Hogweed' (original by Genesis)
- Marilyn Manson - 'Tainted Love' (original by Gloria Jones but done in the style of Soft Cells version)
- Pink - 'I Touch Myself' (original by The Divinyls)

* on a side note...
Manson seems to do a LOT of covers... and that Pink cover can be seen on her Funhouse DVD.

Not always, she has her moments

EDIT: but she is way overplayed and over rated compared to everyone else...

I'm sorry, but I admit I love the Limp Bizkit cover of Faith, it's just so silly

I obviously like Lady Gaga. But I can appreciate good covers.
This isn't better, and Telephone wasn't a bad song.
In the cover, I feel like there's a LOT going on, and I don't know if that's good or just overwhelming.

I just find it curious that someone covered Hogweed by genesis.... very unlikely cover candidate... is there some way you could send me that cover, i am more than just a bit curious to see how it sounds..

So you are not implying the original versions of these songs are bad? Good, because if you're calling Genesis's Return of the Giant Hodweed a bad song I'd have to kick your head clean off your body.

Also, I like Cash but I think his cover of Hurt is overrated, I still prefer the original.
