Cover is better than Original

[Na_Pali_Coast_Kauai]

Name songs where the cover is better than the original.

Here's one: 311 - Love Song

Heck, just name songs where the cover song is really good too. After all, "better" is subjective.

Anyway, here's another one: Tara Maclean - At Seventeen

Here's another one...

Van Halen - Dancing in the Streets

 

[darkcloud07]

Disturbed- Land of Confusion

Nonpoint- In the air Tonight (it is just as good as the original)

 

[Na_Pali_Coast_Kauai]

Got another one:

Radiohead - Wish You Were Here

Of course, the original by Floyd is just levels & levels deeper, better, grander..., but I really like this desolate & thoroughly alienated version very much.

Really? :what: I'm definitely gonna have to check this one out.

"If You Could Read My Mind" by Stars on 54.

I actually knew this song for many years before I even realized it was a remake, and then one day I heard the Gordon Lightfoot original on the radio and said, "Wow, this is TERRIBLE!"

(Sorry, Gordon. I do still like "Sundown." )

 

[Penguin888]

Samba - Bond

Cover of Samba De Janiero by Bellini.

Any Beatles cover is better than they were. "I Am Sam" soundtrack

Apparently not. :blush:

I thought that the Stray Cats' cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" was better than Johnny Cash's.

That's strange considering Johnny Cash is one of my all-time favourite artists...

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
