Relating to a post I made in the "What Are You Listening To?" thread, it got me thinking. There are so many cover versions out there. Most people seem to say 'the original is the best', but is that always the case?
Here's NME's top 10 (and bottom 10). Any here that you [dis]agree with?

I'd have put Nirvana's cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" in the top ten, and maybe Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" at one instead of three.

I'd definitely agree with that. As much as I love Muse and that cover, I don't think it should be at the top.
There are 432857362 Placebo covers that should be there. "Running Up That Hill" springs to mind.[/color]

How could I forget about "Running Up That Hill" ? It really was a great choice for one of the video packages used to hype The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels for Wrestlemania XXVI. It's equally as good as, if not better than, the original. And you remember how much I hate covers usually.

I think it was used for Jealousy one year too.[/color]

I think it was the theme for Jealou5y in 2008. I may have to double check that though. I think the card for that Jealousy is still viewable to Hall of Famers so I'll check in a moment.

Okay, I checked and I stand corrected. It was Jealousy 6ix in 2009.

There's a cover of "Hallelujah" that not many think of. Personally, this one of my favourite versions of it, though that might be from my Bon Jovi fanboyism.www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ctNquxzSG4
