Cover versions you think were better than the originals

Different groove to it, but prefer the Black Crowes version

 

[bluesince76]

Great song but prefer the cover on Virus 100, despite not really being a rap fan. There's a few other great DK covers on there as well, particular Faith No Moore's version of Let's Lynch the Landlord.

 

[Banshee]

Not sure I think it's better but probably the best cover I've heard..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Hurt, Jonny Cash

Great choice mate, I thought I was the only bluemooner who loved Chris R.I.P.

The original is great - and from a great album - but just like the Marsheaux cover more

The Hurting is a stunning album - never really appreciated it as a kid.

Perhaps the greatest of all cover versions.

My mate had this on a punk/new wave compilation album in the early 80s. I've not heard it for many years as I'd forgotten who the band was that covered the original song. I'm not saying this version is better than the Easybeats but it's a bit more more upbeat.

Well, maybe not better than the original, but it's a very cool cover version.
