What cover songs were better than the original versions?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Whiskey in the jar - Thin Lizzy

Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson

Metallica redid Whiskey in the Jar; loved it personally.

Other than Beautiful People, Tainted Love is the only other song I liked from Manson; good cover.

Korn did real good at making a Another Brick in the Wall cover originally done by the great Pink Floyd.

I didn't actually like Metallica's version.
I like the traditional versions though.

Ditto with Manson. Dislike him as a person and his music generally, but I love those two tracks, it's ironic you named them both!

And Korn's version was very good.

Really Ironic you chose all those songs legion!
