Tainted Love by Soft Cell was one of my fav songs back in the 80's. Now I LOVE the Marilyn Manson cover!

Elton John's version of "Pinball Wizard" is 100 times better than The Who's version, and his version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is better than The Beatles version.

i first heard eric clapton 's "layla" in the 70's i then heard his accoustical version years later if you consider that a remake, i like the electric version better.

Aerosmith's version of "Come Together" owns the Beatles version. Not that i dislike their version. Aerosmith's version just rocks so much harder. can't remember which version i heard first its been so long ago

"Soldier of Fortune" Deep Purple original, Opeth cover. I love them both, but I am partial to Opeth. Mikael Ackerfeldt's voice makes me warm and fuzzy. I heard Opeth's first. "Remember Tomorrow" Iron Maiden original, Opeth cover. I cannot choose. It is not possible. Maiden first. "No Class" Motorhead original, ULCER remake. ULCER's is better, but I'm partial, as I'm married to the artist ^_^ (he's only done 2 cover songs in 5 albums...). I heard Motorhead's first.

Jimi Hendrix All Along The Watchtower is a good example. Much prefer it to the Dylan version

Come Together..Aerosmith over the Beatles Turn The Page..I like both Metallica's version and Bob Seger's, it just depends on my mood which one I like best at the time.

There are many remakes that I like. Some more, and some less, than the original. "Hurt"-Johnny Cash better than NIN "Baker Street"-Gerry Rafferty better than Foo Fighters "Turn the Page"-Bob Seger better than Metallica "Smooth Criminal"-Alien Ant Farm better than MJ "Behind Blue Eyes"-The Who better than Limp Bizkit "Simple Man"-Lynyrd Skynyrd better than ShineDown "Thousand Yard Stare"-NaradaBluz better than doubleDrive "Layla"-Cream vs Clapton is a toss up

the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" has been beautifully covered by Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright. I heard Leonard Cohen first. Johnny Cash covered Depeche Mode's PERSONAL JESUS. I head Depeche Mode first, hated it. Heard Cash's version and totally LOVE it!

Come together - Soundgarden And Rage Against The Machine's "Renegades" album is all cover songs, I i think they are all rather much better than the originals

I prefer the original version of "Knockin on Heavens Door" by Bob Dylan over Avril Lavigne's cover -- I heard Avril's version first.

Without a doubt it has to be Ozzy Osbourne & Dweezil Zappa doing stayin alive originaly by the Bee-Gees. Only the Ozzman could make this song worth listeming to, the Bee-Gees sure didn't

"always something there to remind me" by naked eyes was o.k. but when it was rerecorded by Jay Laga'aia a.k.a Draco for the musical episode of Xena warrior princess titled Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on fire it rocked. you could hear the emotional pain as he screams the chorus "theres always something there to remind me!" http://zwatcher.gogax.com/Xena%20-%20Volume%205%20-%20Lyre,%20Lyre%20Hearts%20On%20Fire%20-%2010%20-%20Always%20So.mp3
