I have to disagree. That cover made me want to cry, it butchered the beauty and subtlety of the original.

I would agree with two already mentioned here though. Cash's cover of "Hurt" and Jules' cover of "Mad World" are indeed better than the originals, I find.

I can't actually think of many covers that are actually better than the originals other than those two though. I can think of ones that are just as good, but not better. One that I can think of is I find Great Big Sea's cover of R.E.M.'s "End of the World" is better. More franticly paced, more instrumentally fun. At least I find it to be.
