Ooh, here's one: Townes Van Zandt's version of "Dead Flowers". It's hard to believe that it is a Stones tune.

Saxon's cover of Christopher Cross's "Ride Like the Wind" rules. They took a cheesy guilty pleasure and made it guiltier.

Lorde's version aggravates me because of the super-high backup singers going "Royaaaaaals!"

Aggravating.

Somebody linked this. A seven foot tall clown singing it makes it awesome.

Paul Simon, and Simon and Garfunkel, are 2 of my very favorite acts; with the former being among my very favorite songwriters. I think Sounds of Silence is one of the better songs I've ever heard; their rendition is amazing.

I hate heavy metal.

Disturbed covered Sounds of Silence, and it is incredible.

Sure, I'm responding to opinions from six years ago, but here is my take for best version of Satisfaction.

Björk and PJ Harvey.

I really like Rob zombies version of American Band.Disturbeds Sound Of Silence is good although it's an odd cover.

I don't listen to much 'traditional' music...that said:

ECHO (original Vocaloid song)

Remix (AmaLee & dj-Jo)

Original (Crusher-P w Gumi vocals)

Koufuku na Shi wo

Cover (Awaka)

Remix (Soh Yoshioka)

Original (Kikuo)

Overall the take away is even if the remixes are more awesome than the originals, humans still sing better than computers... for now.
