Best Cover Tunes

[julylorelei]

This occurred to me driving to work on Friday, so here's a meme I made up. Posted here from Facebook after reading a post about cover songs that queensheba made this morning.

Unlike movies, where the book is usually better, sometimes a cover of a song equals - or outshines - its original. If you can, share 15 cover songs you really dig, as well as who sang

I lose major goth points for liking Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday" better than New Order's original, but oh well.

I think it should be the other way around - the cover is much more emo.

New Order is oldschool proto-goth, though. No cover, ever, should top it. Unless they resurrected Ian Curtis and Joy Division covered it. (:
