So what cover versions do people reckon are better than the original?

Some to get the thread started:

Pet Shop Boys - 'Always on My Mind'

I'm assuming that is the clarkie or all clarkies?

nirvana - man who sold the world has to be at least on a par with bowie, and i prefer bowie overall

ballad of a thin man - kula shaker betters dylan on this one i think

good call. they tried their best to make it their own all thought becuase the lyric is so strong/odd it can only ever be Dylans.

People often confuse a cover with a copy.........oasis playing My Generation is a copy.....
