What cover versions do you think do justice or improve on the original?

#1

Ok... # 1: " hurt" by Johnny Cash... Fkn beautiful, get tears in my eyes every time I hear it.. #2: " Mexican radio" by Celtic Frost.... awesome, wall of voodoo never sounded so good!!! #3: "feel the silence" by Lacuna coil.... Totally does justice to the awesome original!!!

    I hope a remix by a different band counts too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to introduce my Birgit-M-Going-Crazy-On-The-Dancefloor-Song: Never Wanted To Dance - Combichrist (Electro Hurtz Mix), the original version by Mindless Self Indulgence is cool too! Voyage Voyage - Black Nail Cabaret, but I freely admit that I also love the original version by Desireless! Where You Are - VNV Nation, a remix of the original song by Deine Lakaien, which again is great!

    Lol, someone else who hates cover versions. So do I, usually. Most of them are just silly and superfluous imo.
