Joe Cocker's Feelin' Alright is actually a cover of Dave Mason.


Cocker's rednition is definately better than Mason's original.

I never really liked the Police or Sting for that matter, but Arden Park Roots does a cover of Walking on the moon that I really dig.

This was the first song I thought of when I read the title. Read a great article where Trent Reznor talked about Cash asking him if he could do the cover and how Reznor had mixed feelings about it because it was such an emotional song for himself about his drug abuse. Reznor says in the article that Johnny Cash absolutely made it his own song and did a fantastic job. The video is one of if not thee best video's I've ever seen. Very powerful.

This guy is a musical savant. All his covers are gold, as are his originals.

Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner. Yes I said Ike, because he was the one who came up with their classic arrangement of that CCR song. Other wise, Ike was just pretty much an abusing ass.

This is an original where the Jason Aldean cover was more popular. I like the original better.

I remember watching this on live television, being completely blown away by her vocals

The original is easy to hate so almost any cover would be better but he nailed it here.

Can't say I like this better than Johnny Cash's version but it's pretty damn close.

I was watching that a few days ago, thinking about her unique voice. Ran across this one too. She looked so much better with long hair...
