Best/worst song remake

[geecee]

I liked Gary Jules' cover of Mad World more than the Tears for Fears original. And though overplayed recently, I liked Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I'm just a sucker for melancholy songs I guess.

As for worst, how about a whole album of bad covers -> Spaghetti Incident, GNR.

and i would not consider 'another brick in the wall' to be up there in the worst because the original song sucked even harder.

If you think Korn's version is better, I must seriously question your musical tastes.

You can't mess with a classic song like that. I bet Kurt Cobain is turning in his grave every time he hears that.

Nirvana sucks. Any remake is better than the original.

Are you on some drugs? That album is only the 3rd best album ever!!

Soundgarden - Stray Cat Blues is excellent.

I agree

As far as favorite, it's hard to pick.
A couple I really like are Reel Big Fish's cover of Kiss Me Deadly, Save Ferris's Build Me Up Buttercup, and Suicide Machine's End of The World.
