Cover songs that are better than the original.

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.

I believe on later releases or "remasters" they included it. I think they threw "Hey, Hey What Can I do" in there as well.

Ah, I see. I've still got my early '80's pressing of Coda, as well as the CD release from a few years later. Somewhere, I still have my 45 of "Immigrant Song" b/w "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?".

Although this is so far from the original its almost a different song.

So not really a cover...a re-imaging perhaps.

Not actually a remake. The song wasn't completed until Secor finished writing it.

"Wagon Wheel" is a song co-written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show. Dylan recorded the chorus in 1973; Secor added verses 25 years later. Old Crow Medicine Show's final version was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in April 2013.

Admittedly, saying any other band played a song better than Metallica did is picking the lowest of low-hanging fruit, but...

If they play that one live and they still have that guy on the side of the stage that just dances I bet he's a giant sweatball by the end. :lol:

Kinda a cover, but I think better than the original. Anderson East has an amazing voice, and Daryl compliments it so well. Daryl has discovered a way to keep older music relevant to a younger generation.
You are mistaken in both these assessments. I don't even need to listen to them. They are iconic songs from the 70's and I won't sit by idly while you sully them with some new bastardized version of my youth.

I have to say that Barracuda cover was pretty damn good.

I agree the Barracuda cover was very good, but I don't think it exceded the original vocally, maybe just matched it.

I'm a huge fan of NOFX (mostly up to Punk in Drublic) and Lagwagon but I think I prefer John Denver's version.

This is my favorite version.
