Just about anything by Bob Dylan. Its almost like he writes stuff solely to be performed better by others. Which is a talent I'll admit, the dude can write a song but I was never a fan of his actual musicianship that much

Any Discharge song.

I love Discharge and respect their influence, but their songs are almost always better when played by other bands.

A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine

The tonal shift from John Lennon to Maynard James Keenan is basically communism on paper versus communism in practical.

That's not a controversial pick. The real controversial one for them would be preferring their version of Land Of Confusion over Genesis. Which I do.

You're joking, right? Like, you definitely know the Johnny Cash version is the cover, and you're just making a goof so we can all smile?

99.99% of the time people post that, they are indeed joking

It's referencing Reznor's praise of the cover to the point where he even says it's Cash's song now
