We all know the classics Johnny Cash’s Hurt, Whitney Houston’s Hurt wait, no, Nine Inch Nails, Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower (wait, Bob Dylan).

​

But I want to know the deeper cuts.

​

What is a cover song that took the original, completely dismantled it and rebuilt it into something significantly better?

​

I’m talking about covers that change the genre, change the emotional weight or just perform it with so much more energy that the original feels like a rough draft.

​

Drop the cover, the original artist, and why the new version wins.

​

I am looking for new tracks to add to my discovery stations, so give me the ones that actually surprise people.
