I think the song is "Bad" but i'm not sure. There have been quite a few great remakes over the years and I was wondering if anyone knew of any. The version Of Billy Jean that David Cook did on American Idol originally re-made by Chris Cornell was also a great Michael Jackson re-make.

I just heard it on the radio Friday and it was really good. The Ataris version of Don Henleys Boys of summer was a really good one I thought.

The version Of Billy Jean that David Cook did on American Idol originally re-made by Chris Cornell was also a great Michael Jackson re-make. I am looking forward to David Cooks first CD, Despite it being American Idol I really liked him. He really has a way of owning a song. There were several times that he brought tears to my eyes with songs, including his cover of Collective Sould in the finale. As far as covering songs. Aaron Lewis really has done a nice job of coverng songs acoustically. Black by Pearl Jam, Sober by Tool, and Nothing else matters by Metallica are three that really come to mind and are easy to find on You Tube. My favorite though is his cover of Comfortably Numb by Floyd. Good stuff. KING You may be in the drivers seat but God is holding the map. #GMSTRONG

Some of Daughtry's music is good but he never once delivered a song on American Idol that gave me chills. David Cook did that quite a few times. You can really tell he's putting his self into it and not just singing the song.

Such a bland song and make it 100x better and rock it out. Not only is that my all-time favorite cover, it's probably my favorite rock song. Last edited by Dawgpound017; 05/27/08 01:15 AM.

Atmosheric and up-to-date, it still manages to evoke a certain "live concert" feel. If you're a Prince fan, get this one... I always thought that Prince did his very best work when covering others' songs. He shines, and is at his absolute best on this tune. Olde Shchool meets Nu Skool in a sweet symbiosis.

Or how about "Dynamite Hack" covering "Boyz in the Hood"---can't post here due to language. Or how about Nirvana covering The Meat Puppets' "Lake of Fire" Johnny Cash remaking NINs "Hurt" is pretty amazing too. The Fighters of Foo do a great version of Prince's "Darling Nikki" also.

Eric Clapton's version of Jimi's "Little Wing" is better than Jimi''s original, IMO. Linda Ronstadt did a beautiful rendition of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" (long before Whitney Houston made it a mega-hit ... Linda's was better).

Maybe it's because Whitney's was SO DAMN OVERPLAYED! I love Garth Brooks's version of Billy Joel's I'm Shameless (though I love Joel's version too). The Beatles version of the Isley Brother's Twist and Shout. #gmstrong
