One of the greatest records of all time let alone greatest covers.

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

Fall Out Boys version of MJ's Beat It is good.

My arse! Bloody water bison draining any last vestige of sexiness from the song.

 

Anyway this is the only good cover of Kiss:

 

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Agreed.

 

'My Prerogative' cover by Britney Spears is great IMO. :)

 

i cant abide leona lewis's version of 'run'.... i dont understand why its so popular.

 

For me it is the only song that she has sung that I really do 100% like. Compared to it ... all her other songs ... including Bleeding Love just fall by the wayside. I liked the original ... but Leona's is (IMO) better.

I second that Mushy!

 

Saying the Leona Lewis version is better than Snow Patrol's is an insult! Run by SNOW PATROL is one of my fav song ever. Leona just really messes it up with her screeching.

 

Anyway as for covers...

 

Muse - Feeling good :lol:

 

Will think of more later

I'm in the Norma camp that Leona's cover of Run is the best thing she has ever done by some distance, better than the Snow Patrol original IMHO. ... and I much prefer indie rock music to prepackaged pop music.

 

But as for Muse doing the definitive version of the Anthony Newley original ... I have to disagree (although at least you did not site the Pussycat Dolls or Michelle McManus versions ... :lol:

 

This is surely the definitive version:

 

Nina Simone - Feeling Good (1965)
