10 Rock Cover Songs Better Than The Original

3. "Loser" By Beck – Covered By Punchline

You will remember Punchline from number 7 in the list, and they are just so good at doing covers that they earned themselves a second spot on the list with their cover of “Loser” by Beck. I am going to come right out with it and say that for me the number 1 reason this song is better than the original is because I can understand it.

While the instrumentals and song sound fairly like the original, Punchline delivers stronger and clearer vocals than Beck, with the bonus of not having the monotone Beck has when he is speak singing. Amping up the sound with electric guitar and fully singing the lyrics as opposed to speak singing, allowed Punchline to deliver a stronger performance and a more memorable version of this song that you can proudly blast while driving around town.
