For example, Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt."


Or Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." (No post cuz we all know that one)

What else ya got? Who took it to the next level?
I’ve loved that cash cover from the time I first heard it years and years ago, and I can still listen to it several times a day and enjoy it each time, but I didn’t realize how powerful that video would be in this frazzled state o mine lol

The Foo Fighters cover of "Baker Street" is not as good as the original (what is?), but it is
A lot of songs are better than the original, and some are in this thread.
Including most covers of Bob Dylan songs. Yeah- I said it :ban:
