Alien Ant Farm, Smooth Criminal UB40, Red Red Wine Michael Andrews and Gary Jewels, two relatively no-name musicians that covered Mad world by Tears for Fears etc. Even worse - imagine this being your biggest career success ever, and it's still worse than the original?

ffmasterjose 10/02/19 5:18:47 AM #8:	What about when covers become more well known than their originals and people think the original artist covered the uh, cover artist? Like Bowies Man Who Sold The World and Nine Inch Nails' Hurt. To this day I still hear people who think it's a Johnny Cash song . <cite>ffmasterjose posted [p:928222902] in It must be...

Kolibri X 10/02/19 5:22:34 AM #10:	I don't think they mind that much as the cover/remix/mashup ethos has been accepted by musicians and fans alike.

I feel like Bob Dylan is somehow the reverse of this situation, where every song he wrote was more successfully covered by someone else You, Sir, are correct. To this day he's never had a #1 hit. Can you imagine? I'm sure he stopped caring a long time ago. But still, kinda crazy...
