So. Indiana Music Fans Name 15 Cover Songs That Outshine Their Originals
Ever hear a song so good you think, "This has to be the original!" only to find out it’s a cover? We’ve all been there! Recently, we asked our amazing listeners on Facebook to share their favorite cover songs that they believe are even better than the original – and boy, did you deliver! After sifting through all your awesome feedback, we’ve put together a list of 15 cover songs that totally rock – literally and figuratively.
From soulful reinterpretations to full-on rock revamps, these tracks show that sometimes, it’s the second time around that really counts. Some of these covers give a fresh spin to a classic hit, while others have transformed a song into something entirely different. Either way, these tunes have won the hearts of our listeners and might just blow your mind, too.
From rock to pop to country and everything in between, this list highlights just how powerful a well-done cover can be. And I would bet money that this list includes at least one song that you didn't even realize was a cover - and conversely, I bet there are some songs you didn't even realize had been covered by another band (I'm raising my hand for both). So next time you're listening to your favorite station (ahem, us), and one of these songs comes on, you can thank your fellow listeners for curating such a killer playlist, and maybe teaching you something new.
Let us know in the comments if we missed any gems – who knows, we might just have to do a round two!
