Cdog923 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Came to say "Sound of Silence'" by Disturbed; their cover of "Land of Confusion" is better than the original, too. I prefer the Prince version of "Nothing Compares 2 U", though. There are a few no-brainers, like "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix, and "Knockin on Heaven's Door" by GnR. One that I think gets overlooked is "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley: 1 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I submit this for consideration: Quote Link to comment

One that I think gets overlooked is "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley: I agree with all of those and will add a couple more no-brainers. Turn the Page-Metallica Blue on Black- Five Finger Death Punch w/KWS (maybe not "better" than the original but very good. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It's kind of a gray area in terms of being a cover, but I absolutely love this version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from George Harrison's HoF induction (come for the song, stay for Prince destroying everyone's faces): 2 1 Quote Link to comment

That is one where it pretty much depends on your mood. I agree that sometimes the Seger version is better. Both excellent. Quote Link to comment

Both are very good but if you want a little harder edge and faster pace, then Ataris it is. Quote Link to comment
