That's another where it depends on your mood. Both are very good but if you want a little harder edge and faster pace, then Ataris it is.

 

Yeah, that's true. I prefer The Atari's version, but both are in my car's playlist. It's fun when they come on back-to-back. Two great versions, just different.

I love me some Metallica and love their version.  But I'm not sure I'd say it was clearly better than the original.

Yeah, that was when Bob still had probably one of the most "Rock N Roll" voices in history.  I know it is shot now but what do you expect.

This is tough because the original is probably a top 10 all time (80s) hit but I like this version a lot

 

 

 

And this is creepy AF and I know for some people touching a Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Smith, Wesson, Jones song is a no no but I love this.

Bowie originally, but most know of this song from this performance.

 

 

Way better than the Tears for Fears version.

Ya that's Kurt's song now! My favorite Nirvana cover is Sturgill Simpsons version of In Bloom,  that's good stuff
