Metallica doing that Bob Sieger song, On the road again...
"Turn the Page"
That is indeed a great cover and as much as I love the 'tallica boys I have a hard time saying their's is better than Bob's. But it's something to consider.
I remember thinking they were nuts when I heard they were doing that song, but I was pleasantly surprised at their treatment of it when I actually heard it.
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

I can't believe that it took 3 pages for someone to say 'Hallelujah'. This is the definitive example of a cover being better than the original in my mind.

I'm also going to go out on a limb here and confess something:
I love, love, love Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light" (that guitar solo is fucking ace)...I think it completely eclipses Springsteen's version. Sorry Bruce, but it had to be said.

I already loved the original versions of all of these songs but I think the covers are much better
“Do not postpone happiness”
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
Johnny Cash's Rusty Cage is a long way off from the original. It's such a cliche version if you ask me. Seems like JC thought it would be a cool song to cover and then left out everything that could make it fresh.
Tool's No Quarter is a little better than Zep's album version, but doesnt' begin to sniff the version from TSRTS. Their cover of You Lied is pretty sweet, but it's pretty spot on to the original if I remember right.
