Cover versions you think were better than the originals

[Stephen230]

Walk on By ( Dionne Warwick ) The Stranglers.

And then to bring it full circle.

Hanging Around ( The Stranglers ) Hazel O Connor.

Yeah, because Soft Cell isn’t the original of Tainted Love ;-)

I know, that's why I put Manson's cover of Soft Cells cover of Tainted Love :-D

Hanging Around ( The Stranglers ) Hazel O Connor.

No way.

Not a Weller fangirl but I just love this.



This is not as good as the original but I like it

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Future Royalty
Losing my religion

Maybe not better but definitely different .

I loved the Depeche Mode original, but Johnny is a superior guitarist to Martin Gore. The vocals aren't bad but Dave Gahan obviously has the edge in terms of stage presence....

 

[jimharri]

This just came up on Nation 80s.....



Way better than the Prince /symbol version.

 

[bluebc]

Run run rudolf

 

[Blue Maverick]

I like the original as well but this is fantastic and haunting

 

[beehive_bob]

The Supremes original is good but this is better
