Cover songs that are better than the original.

[VatoMulatto]

Who played it better? Name some cover songs that you think are better than the original.

Personally I think James Blake's version of "A Case of You" is better than the original by Joni Mitchell.





Maxwell - This woman's work (The original by Kate Bush)

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Very rarely do you get the cover better than the original but I really liked Michael Jackson's version of Lady in My Life originally done by Lou Rawls better.

This thread is off to a gay start.

I actually like STP's version of Dancing days better than the original by Led Zeppelin. It's very similar but I just like this version a little better.

I also like the version of Army Of Me by Helmet much better than the original by Bjork.

I prefer the NIN version of Dead Souls over Joy Division who originally did it.
