Probably just about every song Johnny Cash has covered has been infinitely better than the Original.

Especially Highway Patrolman, One and Hurt.

And of course Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus'.  He was getting quite old when he covered that one, and the voice was starting to go  . . .  still a fine version though.

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Originally by Nine Inch Nails)

Korn - Word Up (Orignially by Cameo)

Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love (Originally by Soft Cell)

Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver (Originally by Dio)

Disturbed - Land of Confusion (Originially by Genesis)

 

Although I don't think it quite warrants a place on the list (yet), I'd recommend folk check out Stone Sour's cover of Gimme Shelter ft. Lzzy Hale

Gloria Jones will be furious, much as I like Mansons version the original is still the best. Proper Northern Soul stomper.

Oh shit was it originally done by Gloria Jones? My bad, I've only heard the Manson and Soft Cell version 😂

Had a similar moment myself a while back, was convinced that The Bobby Fuller Four originally did I Fought the Law, turned out The Crickets recorded it first.

I love the Gloria Jones and Soft Cell versions equally, I also really like this version here...
