    Personally, I like RATM's version of "How I Could Just Kill a Man" better than the Cypress Hill original:

    Rihanna's original is so inferior to this version that it only deserves a mention but not a link.

    ^ That was awesome. I also like his version of "Everlasting Love" though I still prefer Gloria's. (EDIT: Okay, I just learned that "Everlasting Love" dates back to the 60s and that it's been covered for years; there's a version I like better than Gloria Estefan's by Carl Carlton that I haven't heard since I was a kid.)

    Most people know "House of the Rising Sun" from Eric Burdon and The Animals' version. It's a folk song with unknown origins. But credit for the most familiar version of the song, though, I think should really go to Josh White, who transformed the melody from a pretty jaunty blues ballad into something mournful and plaintive. Most versions prior to White's version sound like what Leadbelly's doing here:

     


    Most versions after Josh White sound like his:

    lol, I found Fun so annoying at first, mostly because "We Are Young" is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I have no idea why. The melody, the singer's voice, the overdubbing... *shivers* but their later singles are better. I like this cover, too.

    Also, not necessarily better.


    Ok, I will just outright admit that I think this one is better.

    I love The Cure but Tricky does it better. <3
