Delibirb Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't know about more popular, but I prefer Lacuna Coil's rendition of Losing My Religion to REM's original.

[spoiler=Original]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-UzXIQ5vw [spoiler=Cover]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siubz3wJ9sc While we're on Losing My Religion check out Leo Moracchioli's cover. I prefer it to both R.E.M's and Lacuna Coil's versions. On that note also, this guy does LOADS of covers, I don't think I've actually seen anything original on his channel yet, but all his covers are better than the originals basically (probably because the originals are sheet more than half the time) ----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacuna Coil's is still better. This guy's, though has a better instrumental than, is still sung in the same manner as REMs (mostly just louder), which was my major problem with the original. LC's has the better vocals and a good instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr420QuickScopes Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Different strokes for different folks, both versions are great in my opinion haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aZg0pVJWs8 This is a good cover, would be better if it was over an instrumental, for some reason this guy only covers over the full song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Inory's cover of Ikenai Borderline is wildly more popular than the original WALKURE version in Macross Delta. Probably because there's no clean rip of the original Macross OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousHeartless Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 It's like the most generic choice possible, but of course Johnny Cash's cover of Nine-Inch Nails's Hurt has to be mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8corners Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The Cranberries' cover of Black Sabbath's Iron Man was pretty mind-blowing: (Original of course: ) And even the Beatles released covers, of country tunes!Act Naturally (the Beatles): Act Naturally (Buck Owens): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 johnny cash's cover of hurt surpassed the nine inch nails original so far that reznor alone gave it a lot of props Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
