Covers that you like that you have heard before the original song
Like songs that you like now but you heard the cover before the original.
The Boys of Summer (Ataris/Don Henly) Ice Box (There For Tomorrow/Omarion) Apologize (Silverstein/OneRepublic) I must have a sheltered indie punk/metal life because I didn't hear these songs until the covers lol ![]() |

I went to a show one time and the band did all punk covers of punk covers. It was pretty bad ass. The guitarist was wearing a studded belt.

I remember hearing a cover of Blitzkreig Bop before the original. Don't know who did it.
There's the obvious Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower," because I knew Hendrix before Dylan. And Type O Negative's cover of "Cinnamon Girl" because I'd never really been into Neil Young. Speaking of Neil Young, I heard the Alarm's cover of "Rockin' in the Free World" before the original, but that's because I was eight and my Dad was a fan of Welsh rockers. |

I would have to say Sheryl Crows version of Sweet Child O Mine is by far far far better than GNR's by a loads and loads. AWESOME!

I first heard Marilyn Manson's cover of Personal Jesus and someone told me about Depeche Mode originally singing it
Still like Manson's version best |

All Along the Watchtower.
Alot of people think it was Hendrix and the Experience. And to my shock and dismay, alot of people think that Good Times, Bad Times was written by Godsmack... ![]() |

First heard Nirvana covering "The man who sold the world". Later on heard the original from Bowie. Nirvana made that song so much better.

Thanks to my local classic rock station, I heard Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" way before the original Beatles song.

O my goodness Nerf Herder. I can't even listen to them, it's just like being in 7th grade again. I liked their version of Mr. Blue Sky though.
