Top 10 Best Song Covers Part 1

Top 10 Best Song Covers Part 1

I don’ think there will ever be a song cover that will be better than the original but there are some good enough to be acknowledge as a respectful tribute.

There are some covers that was not even released as a single but I sure hope someday they will.

This is part 1.

10. Suspicious Minds



Original by: Elvis Presley

Covered by: Gavin Rossdale

One of those that was never really released formally. With how he looks, I am guessing he did this for one of those promo interviews.



9. Creep



Original by: Radiohead

Covered by: The Pretenders

You can just feel the pain in her voice.



8. Straight Up



Original by: Paula Abdul


Covered by: Andrew Garcia

One of the many songs that was given a great interpretation. Before this, I thought the David Cook cover of Mariah Carey’s song was good but this one… man. Genius.



7. Smooth Criminal



Original by: Michael Jackson

Covered by: Alien Ant Farm

You can feel the entire band having fun doing the cover. I’m sure the king of pop liked it.



6. Mad World



Original by: Tears for Fears

Covered by: Gary Jules

I’m sorry to the Adam Lambert fans out there. He either ripped off this version or he hit jackpot by coming up with the exact same version. Regardless, Gary Jules’ came years before.
