And I'm not saying that the original is bad. You have to have a good song to have a good cover in my opinion. But sometimes the cover artist just understands the mission and takes what the original song did and expands on that a hundred times over.

What're some of your guys's favorites?

This is the opposite of what you're asking for, sorry, but I find that more people are familiar with the A Perfect Circle version of The Nurse Who Loved Me than they are with the original version by Failure.

Both very good versions song, but the original still blows me away.

Apologies for doing the opposite of what you asked, but this was just the first thing that came to mind.

This was one of the first that came to my mind as well. It wasn't till a couple years ago that I learned it was a cover, and I really can't decide whether I prefer APC's or Failure's version.

There is a live recording of Thirteenth Step, where they play it much closer to the original, and it's the absolute best of both worlds IMO.
