Saturday Special - Original vs. Remake - Which is better?

I thought today would be a fun day to do a fun competition.  I picked out three songs and their remakes.  Leave me a comment with your votes as to which one is better.

The first one is tough for me.  I love Nine Inch Nails but the Johnny Cash version of Hurt was phenomenal.  



This one is a interesting challenge.  Montley Crue the personification of sex, drugs and rock & roll versus the wholesome Carrie Underwood.  Who takes this one home; the bad boys or the good girl?



Finally, a three way generational battle.  Bob Dylan vs. Guns and Roses vs. Avril Lavigne.  All three produced very different versions of the song.  Which generation produced the best?

  2. Johnny Cash is phenomenal, I totally agree. The next.. WOW What a comparison! Actually there is none because I think Carrie U. really carried it away! Knocking on Heaven's door is a big favorite of mine. Dylan did a great version, but Guns & Roses really carried it away. April L... well, I never heard this version, but at least I can understand the words, and she did it for a good cause. Kudos to her. Great job my friend! You certainly ROCK! Thanks for sharing.

  6. Nope - I'm going with NIN! I had no idea that was Johnny Cash's song. Now that you put together for me I'm a little blown away.

    Motley Crue hands down. lol

    The last one I have to give it to Guns and Roses.

    This was fun.
