Definitely Bad Company by Five Finger Death Punch. Much better than the original.

Nirvana's The Man Who Sold The World originally by David Bowie is such a decent cover.

The OFFSPRING's O.C. Life is better than the original one.

Young the Giant's cover of R. Kelly's Ignition sounds rad.

T.I's whatever you like cover is nice but I forgot the chick's name though.

The 1975 covered What Makes You Beautiful. There's no competition to beat the original, cos the original is rubbish. The 1975 give it meaning and soul. It is one of the best covered I've ever heard.

Are you a big fan of The 1975 then?

I love Glen Campbell's version of Green Day's 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'. While I expect pretty much everyone will disagree with me, I think it's better than the original.

Not a lot of MBV fans know of this cover, it's on a really good comp of Wire covers from various 80s/90s titans of alt-rock and indie. I finally found it about month ago, secondhand, for 15$. I've been looking for almost 2 years now. Great track to begin with but I think MBV really made it their own and do it better than Wire

No ****, I'm pretty sure they're all I post about. No other artist compares to them. Trust me though, listen to the covers.
