Here is one for starters:

Brett Scallion (Fuel) - Daniel (Elton Jon)

Evil Chris · 07-28-2009, 09:22 AM

That's definitely a good one....

Here's an awesome re-make. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5lD9r7T2VrM
Have a Cigar - Foo Fighters

Doesn't blow away the original, but still really good.

Absolutely I agree. One of my most played songs on my MP3

Uh well if you accept movies, the Thing remake in the 80s is a lot better than the black and white one, though it had it's charm.

PornMD · 07-28-2009, 04:08 PM

Original: Tweet - Oops, Oh My - #1 R&B song, #7 Billboard Hot 100 hit

Remake: Ladytron - Oops, Oh My - PUNK remake extra on a compilation album they made (and Ladytron does techno/Depeche Mode type goth stuff, not punk). Relatively unknown gem from a hugely underrated group.

Makes the original sound like more of a punchless annoying piece of shit song than it already was.

I think you're letting your personal love for the band A PERFECT CIRCLE get in the way of any rational thinking. It's pretty obvious your a fan with all your examples. IMAGINE is not a song that any artist can improve on. It is like trying to improve upon Beethoven's '5th Symphony'. IMAGINE is really in a class all its own. A song beloved by millions of billions of people around the world.

I do think that songs can be bettered, though. The Nirvana 'Lake Of Fire' above is a great example. The Beatles bettered The Isley Brothers' 'Twist and Shout' and I personally think John Mellencamp bettered Van Morrison's 'Wild Night.'

Ahh, you mean "cover song"...
