GG Crono 4:
Have any of you ever heard cover songs that you liked better than the original versions?

For me, it's two Helloween songs, I Want Out and I'm Alive.

I heard the covers (By Sonata Arctica and Luca Turilli, respectively) before I knew they were covers, so of course, when I found out I had to seek out the originals. But I must say, I was dissapointed. They just didn't measure up to the covers. In my oppinion, they were quite bland in compairison.

Though, credit where credit's due, both songs have great lyrics.

Johnny C:
Johnny Cash's "Hurt" > NIN's "Hurt."

Empty Friend:
Vehemently disagree.

Psiogen:
Usually, whichever version of a song I hear first becomes my favorite...except in those happy cases where I like the cover and the original equally for different reasons.

Mind elaborating on that a bit more?

I'm not going to argue with you, I'm just interested.
