16 Cover Songs That Really Rock!

Ever listen to a song, and think “Wow this is pretty good” but then realize it’s from Taylor Swift, and to not seem like a wuss you immediately change the station. Well I have a solution for you; here are 16 songs that have been redone by badass rock bands, lyrically still great, but musically redone to rock your face off. Enjoy! :)

16- I Don’t Care Anymore- HellYeah -This one’s actually pretty new, and honestly just a cover of an old slow rock song by Phil Collins. But it still made the list because it’s a pretty rockin jam.
 
15- Faith- Limp Bizkit- Redoing George Michael’s song, “Faith”, this song really flip flops between a straight remake and a screaming rocking song. But they make it work.
 
14- Toxic- Local H -No “man” can listen to Brittany Spears and seem masculine, well Local H has made your Brittany song cool again.  
13- Tainted Love- Marilyn Manson- This is one of those songs where after you hear it, it is suddenly much better than the original. Manson is a master of remakes.

12- Smooth Criminal- Alien Ant Farm -Although Michael Jackson’s original version is still awesome, this song really rocks, honestly you probably already knew this one. But it’s too good to not be here!

 11- Hello- leo moracchioli- This one is also pretty new as well, covering Adele’s huge hit from this past year. This one has some mixed reactions, but I enjoy it more than hers!

10- Poker Face- Of Mice and Men- You be the judge of this one, and listen for yourself.
 
9- Disturbia- The Cab- I won’t lie, I actually like Rihanna’s version too. But this is a perfect song for a hard rock band to cover.
 
 8- Further seems forever- bye bye bye- We all know we have a guilty pleasure for an NSYNC song every now and again, but these guys turn this into a punk classic.
 
7- Umbrella- The Veer union- I’ve liked these guys since their beginning, and this song proves why.
6- Sweet dreams- Marilyn Manson- Well like I said Manson is a king of covers, so he made the list twice!

5- Gangsters Paradise- Falling In Reverse- Yet again another track, where I love it so much more than the original. Like A Storm also has a version of this you should check out.

4-Blank space- I prevail- Remember that Taylor Swift reference in the beginning? Well here is why!
3- Our last night- stressed out- Even though the original is pretty good by Twenty One Pilots, this version is so much better.
 
 2- Lollipop- Framing Hanley- As a big fan of Framing Hanley, this had to be near the top. Besides they turned one of the lamest rap songs into a super awesome rock song.

  1-Since U Been Gone- A Day To Remember- I had to make this number one, because honestly it’s the oldest one I can remember first hearing. I loved it, it made me seek out the rest of the list of cover tracks over the years, pretty much!
