What cover of a song is actually better than the original?

Darious Rucker's Wagon Wheel is far superior.

I agree man. Great song

Please tell me you two are being comedians.... PLEASE!

I'm with Matt on this one. Old Crow Medicine Show is THE standard for that song, IMHO.

This recording isn't the best, but gives a feel for the live flavor for those poor souls that missed them...


Here is the album version...

I almost posted this without listening to the original.

That is how much I despise U2. However I just suffered through it.

I do wonder if the entire Black album would be better if Metallica wasn't involved...

At least half this guys HUGE catalog. Australians are very interesting folk...

Not hard to do. A bunch of rabid cats could do better than Europe.

This one predates the Civil War, so I can't claim to have heard the original (I'm not that old!) This is pretty darn good and I can only guess it's better than a probably a cappella version.

R.E.M. has some great songs...This and Shiny Happy People are not among them. So yeah everyone does it better...

NSFW and obnoxious, but still better.
