Covers that sound bettter than the originals

Step on by the happy Monday’s. it’s not an exact cover of he’s gonna step on you again by John Kongos bit it’s a better version.

I also prefer I am the walrus by oasis rather than the Beatles.

Mmm.. not for me, I'd have them about equal, the John Kongas song was greeted as a classic of ingenuity at the time.

This one is credited as being written by the band but it's an old gospel song and not actually an original. It's a monster of a track with drumming that is as good as anything you will ever hear.



This simply rewrote the rules for playing the guitar:

Love that Zeppelin tune, but I think it goes a bit beyond a cover tbf ;-)
The Van Halen track tho, dear me, that plus the Hendrix cover of Dylan have to be up there as the best 2 suggested on here so far.

Talking of Scott Walker, will someone please put up 'No Regrets' by the Walker brothers, poignant, heart wrenching lyrics carried off to perfection by Scott's superb voice.

Prefer Midge Ure's version.
