What cover songs were better than the original versions?

[JT Rock]

I can tell you one I cant stand... They took the music of Sweet Home Alabama, and put some Fucktard words to it.... Sounded like Kid Rocks doing

[CutMeMick]

The Girl From Ipanema originally done by Pery Ribeiro. I think Joao, Gilberto & Getz did a much better job in the version they created.


RATM album "Renegades" is full of cover songs. I'm not saying they are all better then the originals but def. a well put album. Songs from Dylan, MC5, Cypress Hill, Rolling Stones & EPMD to name a few.

These may not be better than the originals but they are fucking good....

I loathe Van Halen and anything associated with them. Terrible, overrated band. Just because Eddie could play guitar doesn't mean they had good songs. One band I just do not get.

[El Kabong]

They have plenty of good songs!

And you shut the hell up about Van Halen!


What has Canada given us that is better than Van Halen?

Imo, RUSH is better than Van Halen.

[El Kabong]

...Rush is totally different from Van Halen and Geddy Lee although a very good bass player is a singer that can get annoying.

Alex Van Halen is a very underrated drummer and IMO he could give Neal Pert a run for his money

I agree. Just like Neil Young.

What?!.. NO FUKKING WAY!!!

[JT Rock]

Yea dude, not a huge Van Halen fan, have alot of their music and need to be in the mood for them, but I think they are definetly are a Classic Rock and Roll band

Lies by The Undead,covering the 60's Knickerbockers song

It doesn't matter what country they're from, they are a shitty, overrated band in my opinion. I can name several Canadian artists that are better than Halen. The Tragically Hip, Neil Young, The Guess Who/BTO, Gordon Lightfoot, Arcade Fire, The Band was primarily Canadian... I don't like Van Halen though, so it follows that I would think many Canadian groups are better than they are.
