What bands/solo artists do you not like their music but like their songs when covered by another band. 

Mine off off the top of my head

The Who
Bob Dylan
Leonard Cohen 

Love cover versions of their songs but to hear the original artists versions. Not so much. 
Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    So you prefer Limp Bizkit's version of Behind Blue Eyes over The Who's?

    Not all the covers. Lol. I love when pj covers The Who but I have never liked the actual band. Really tried since so many people love them but just couldn’t do it. Behind Blue Eyes is a great song though. The original version.

    Hard to imagine... although I do like the 'Mats cover of "Like a Rolling Pin":
