Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2018 Those covers of "Running Up That Hill" are very good, but I personally don't think they're better than the original. Also (and maybe this belongs in the Unpopular Opinion thread), whilst I agree that Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" is definitely better, I don't think his cover, or any cover thus far, of "Personal Jesus" has been better than the original.  Promise this'll be the last cover I post of "Trusty Chords", but I just remembered how tremendous this one was, by Koehler - might be the only one I've heard that competes with Hause's version. @Accident Prone @Dolph Pigglers  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this one too, the lyrics really shine. I used to love the Placebo version of 'Running Up That Hill' but I've really grown to appreciate the Kate Bush original more. Although not better than the original, this guy's cover of The Mountain Goat's 'No Children' is fantastic. It's made better due to the fact he's singing it to drown out a hate-filled anti-abortion rally.  The Cardigan's cover of 'Iron Man' is genuinely better than the original.  Also, the ultimate version of a cover being way better than the original, here's Homeless Mustard (a legit homeless man at the time) covering 'Creep'. I believe he is doing much better for himself these days.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapnut Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I can’t imagine this will be a popular choice, but I much prefer Metallia’s version of Whiskey in the Jar. I second Placebo’s cover of Running up That Hill too. Edited August 2, 2018 by Slapnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Soft Cells cover of Tainted Love isn't even the best cover, Coil's haunting aids charity benefit single is.

The Gaffer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Johnny Cash did a great job with Hurt, but when people get to suggesting it's not a Nine Inch Nails song anymore I start breaking out in a rash.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2018 The original of this by Them is brilliant, but Patti Smith added a little magic to it and this is sensational . This is from this year. I love a scuzzy guitar riff  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
