I would also say that Social Distortions version of

is on a par with the late great Johnny Cash version.

 

And Johnny Cash's verion of Hurt (originally a nine inch nails song) is much better (and more powerful) than the original.

Try 'Acid Eaters' , a whole cd's worth of covers Ramones-style :)

 

...and went on to be THE WORST Ramones album of ever all time!:rolleyes:

 

I must agree with the Cash version of 'hurt' though, he put so much emotion into that track.

(and lets not forget, realistically, that NIN are/is a sack of cack apart from about err three? very early tracks):cool:

Damn near all of Johnny Cash's cover versions from his American series are equal to or better than the originals. U2's 'One' and NINs 'Hurt' mentioned above stand out as amazing covers.

 

Not sure it's better but on the similar theme of C&W ballads Glen Campbell does a fine rendition of 'Times Like These' (Foo Fighters)
