10 Rock Cover Songs Better Than The Original

6. "The Chain" By Fleetwood Mac – Covered By Taking Dawn

Sure it's controversial to challenge any truly iconic song, but here we are at “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac, a wonderful British-blues song that is already iconic, and has now been introduced to newer generations by being featured in 2017’s Guardian’s Of The Galaxy 2.

However, just 7 years prior to that movie, the song had been covered by Taking Dawn who gave it a spectacular southern rock/nu-metal makeover. Changing up the overall song to be something more akin to a metal ballad with some twangy southern guitar riffs, Taking Dawn amps this song up to 11, blasting you with almost even more passion than felt in the original.
