Just off the top of my head: "Hurt": Johnny Cash > Nine Inch Nails Agreed *Dave Matthews Band - All Along The Watchtower (Dylan) *Nina Simone / Muse - Feeling Good (Anthony Newley & Leslie Bricusse) - Both versions are class!

Sonic Youth's "Superstar" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Also, I think I agree about Plaebo's cover of "RUTH". I don't think it's necessarily better than the Kate Bush original, but I like it a lot more for some reason.

Placebo's Running up that hill > Kate Bush I have to greatly, greatly disagree about that. :( Soft Cell's Tainted Love > Gloria Jones' Tainted Love

I like both versions of running up that hill, but like someone said Placebo adds something special. Kate Bush's arrangement for the song is too poppy given the content of the lyrics. Placebo adds a darker element which fits the lyrics better. That's just my opinion though.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Stevie Nicks)
Sorry, but it's far superior!

Speaking of Landslide, Dixie Chicks' version is better than Stevie Nicks' version.

I think I like Katy Perry's "Use Your Love" a tad bit better than the original. Fergie's "Barracuda" is killer! Heart's version is great, too, but I love Fergie's version. The Fray's "Heartless" beats Kanye's by MILES! Kris' beat both of them!!!!!! Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" > Beyonce's "Halo" Megan Joy's "Rockin' Robin" > All other versions. JoJo's "Can't Believe It" is way better than T-Pain's. I prefer Paramore's "Use Somebody" over King of Leon's, but KOL's version is great, too. Nothing wrong with it at all. Kelly did a great job at it too.

Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" > Beyonce's "Halo" Nice try. Also, SMH at people choosing Whitney's over Dolly's. I guess the reason why I prefer Dolly's is because she had a real story behind IWALY where as Whitney just killed it vocally. Vocally Whitney takes it, but overall I prefer Dolly.

I find the Whitney version far too 90's Power Ballad, Dolly's is timeless... so much better!

I swear I'm waiting for some Beyonce st@n to say her version of At Last is superior, just for the s. I promised myself I'd stop looking at that Grammy thread for a while, but just for you, I've gone back in to wade through the mire so I can be of service: Hahahaha I am a **person who likes someone I don't so I resort to namecalling because it makes me feel superior** so I can say it. Fair to say she has 5 grammies waiting for her. Best Female Pop Vocal Performance - Halo Best Female R&B Vocal Performance - Single Ladies Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance - At Last Best R&B Song - Single Ladies Best Contemporary R&B Album - I Am...Sasha Fierce These are a lock.She sand At last better than the original critics claim so might take that one.
