Oh, this is a fun topic!

My first thought was Phil Collins covering the Beatles. I had Face Value on CD and my sister’s boyfriend was surprised to see the track Tomorrow Never Knows. I wasn’t aware, at the time, it was a Beatles song and that’s how I found out. :smiley:

Since Latherfal posted a cover of War Pigs I felt I had to post the one by Faith No More. I friggen love The Real Thing and this was a bonus track. They also covered the Commodores song, Easy. lol

This was an unexpected and really fun cover. lol

These are songs I think are either better than the original or just as good.

̶J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶ Changed my mind. I was recently listening to Tears for Fears and I realized that their version is better. So this is just a good cover but not better :stuck_out_tongue: :

Just as good:

I think this is better than the original but I don’t like Offspring that much. FFDP made me realize this was a sad song. I never realized it was in the 90s because Offspring’s version was so upbeat.

Just as good:

Better:

Much better (sorry not sorry I was never a Beatles fan):

Just as good:

I love Tears for Fears but god damn their version of Mad World is really bad so this is much, much, much better:

I agree with these.

I love a lot of Pentatonix covers, since that’s what they’re known for (mostly). Too many to name, by PTX and only picking one would be a disservice. I’ll pick two, one from the Avi years, and the other for the Matt years:

(Matt Years) Pentatonix - Shallow

(Avi Years) Pentatonix - Say Something

That being said, outside of PTX…

Jeremy Renner - House of the Rising Sun

(Sing Version) Taron Egerton - I’m Still Standing

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

Demi Lovato - I Will Survive

First to Eleven - (Female Vocals) Nothing Else Matters

Within Temptation - Titanium

Lauren Babic - Thriller

All I got, so far.

EDIT: Adding the following…

Michael Buble - Feeling Good

Halestorm - Bad Romance

Chase Holfelder - Tainted Love

Pink - White Rabbit

Denmark Winter - We Gotta Get Outta of This Place

Hmm I wouldn’t call this a cover song since David Bowie co-wrote it.
