Cover Songs Better Than the Original

[WallsGa]

Like movie sequels most cover songs don't measure up to the original. But there are a few that I think are far superior. What are some of yours?

Guns 'n' Roses - Knocking on Heaven's Door

The Fugees - Killing Me Softly

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Metallica - Turn The Page (just barely than the original, but better)

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

I like alot of the songs metallica covers

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Lenny Kravitz - American Woman

Dixie Chicks - Landslide. Fleetwood Mac's version was great, but I'm including this because I think they're equally good

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

Dixie Chicks? Really! Nope, not that one. The rest I either agree or come very close to agreeing.
