Covers better than the originals?

Opeth's cover of Bridge of Sighs (originally by Robin Trower) is amazing, I like the guitar tone and the vocals better.

And also, A Perfect Circle's cover of The Nurse Who Loved Me. I don't like the original by the Failure. The two songs are quite drastically different though, so it's probably not a matter of being 'better', just 'different'.

The original isnt bad, but everything sounds better in metal. I also love Alexi Laiho's "YEAOW" moments

Shining's cover of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man is pretty good.Not exactly a cover, more of an interpretation (Shining is a jazz band... kinda, so the word is appropriate) and it is radically radically different from the original.

I still like Ryan Adams' album version of Wonderwall better than Oasis' original.

I originally wanted to submit this, but couldn't find the original.

In my opinion...

Chris Cornell's acoustic version of Thank You

Spoiler

is better than...

Led Zeppelin's original version of Thank You

Spoiler

even from a live recording with people hooting and hollaring throughout.
