Okay,
Please post links here to an original song and then to a cover about it.
So we'd discuss which is better; the original or a new cover. Did they maybe bring something new feeling on it?
I'll start with The Antisect and their song called Brighter Than Thousand Suns.
Then goes a cover by the Raw Noise.
Original (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=33&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjfnMGtytTJAhWmqnIKHVSFBao4HhC3AggeMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOl4bnjfXn2Y&usg=AFQjCNGcAkkJCj80G7onBVmxUxsaURxB_A)
Cover (https://youtu.be/yd2I_7UTico)

Superb idea for a thread, sir!
Wonderful Christmastime, original by Sir Macca of Beatleland, nice enough Christmas party tune if you're having that sort of a time... but the Tom Mcrae cover strips it right down to something truly melancholy and, IMO, reflects the fact that Christmas can also be a sad time for many people who don't have fun lives...
Original (if you really need to hear it...)

The cover...

An example of how you can make a crappy song sound great... I'll be back with others...

Whoa, I see what you mean. There really are some great examples who've done it a way better. The original you put is...eh.. real shite I admit. When I clicked on it I instantly realised what song it is and stopped it right there ;). But now I listen to the cover at a same time writing this with much more patience. Good I'd say. :)
Me and my wife are somewhat into christmas. Not religious but spending nice time with generic and so on.

An Bowie original (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi_0vaP7NTJAhUD8HIKHbZmC28Q3ywIIjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DzLnPd7lzT4g&usg=AFQjCNFera-lcYcjfQ1FqmhltnDe587chA)
And then the Blitz cover (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiJ7bPO7NTJAhWF33IKHTRKCAEQtwIIITAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1C4Lx-WF5Tw&usg=AFQjCNG9Iw1zITP4f0vymUxdu5DIMHKbZw)
I think the original is better though the latter is a way more rocky. I'll go for Bowie. 8)

Poison Idea
https://youtu.be/K2QsquE6W_U
Although I have only Poison Idea's version on a vinyl/cd I think GISM is hard to beat in here. There's no one like them. Very freaky sounding and authentic HC from early start of 80's in Nippon.

Well, seeing as you mentioned Poison Idea...
Alans On Fire(original)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lKiFcnUlM
...vs the Machine Head version...

Honestly, I can't choose!!!! Such a great tune...

Or perhaps you can choose between David Bowie...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSH--SJKVQQ
... or Lulu?

...pause...
I think we all know the answer to this one...

Good morning.
Let's start a brand new day with a Tony Christie's song In The Avenues and Alleyways (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOGn4e8zqg). It was year 1973.
And then there was a version brought us by the G.B.H. (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6jdMt5tZ0_E) (in 1986).

Immensely adore both versions. Very different from one another. In terms of video, I'm partial to the second. Both, Canadian artists.
