Nirvana, ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ David Bowie apparently gets so many people telling him it’s great that he’s covering a Nirvana song he gets really wound up.

Huge Beatles fan here so when I acknowledge a Beatles cover better than the original, it carry’s weight.

Joe Cockers cover of “with a little help from my friends” is incredible.

Doing a category search "punk covers" is always entertaining and usually yields a few gems.

Joan Jett's cover of "I Love Rock and Roll" is way better than the original
