    @clayton86 I second this.    hurt when Johnny cash covered it. NIN just didn’t give it the feel it needed.

    Turn The Page by Bob Seger/Metallica. Metallica’s version made Seger’s version unlistenable.

I can't believe no one mentioned this cover (Johnny Cash) of Nine Inch Nails Hurt. Still gives me chills. 

 

 

This is my favorite cover though. 

 

 

It took me half my life to realize this was a cover (Metal Health) and I still struggle with it today.

    I love Paul Simon, but I really enjoy Miley Cyrus singing 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover as well as Jolene (Dolly)

    Although I may be in the minority on this one I enjoy the “Bangles” covering “Hazy Shade Of Winter”.
