Cover songs that are better than the original?

[IckGirl]

I'll start.

Pet Shop Boys, Always on my Mind.

You?

Running up that Hill- Placebo

Hallelujah

Who did you favourite version of this, Jeff Buckley I'm guessing?

@IckGirl that was the exact song I thought of when I saw your thread title! What a song.

Didn't know this existed! Will google now, thank you!

Victoria - The Fall
Superstar - Sonic Youth
Surfin' USA - The Jesus and Mary Chain

😍

Oh and Romeo and Juliet - The Killers

Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

I Fought The Law - The Clash
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
All Along The Watchtower - Hendrix

Yes!!!!

Knocking on heavens door and Live and let die by Guns n roses are much better than the originals.

Agree with Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

I also prefer Dolly Parton singing If to the version Bread did much to DH's horror.

One of my favourites 😊

I didn't even know these were covers, amazing, thank you!!

I only want to be with you - The Tourists

Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

Jealous Guy by Bryan Ferry
Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio (not quite a cover)

The Sound of Silence by Disturbed.

Is this the Dire Strait's song? I didn't know they'd covered it. I'm having a youtube music listening evening so loving all of these, thank you!!

Hallelujah KD Lang every time

Turn the Page - Metallica

My favourite version too

Songbird by Eva Cassidy.

Accidentally came up on a mix and it made me stop what I was doing and listen

Prince's live Creep by Radiohead- absolute guitar masterclass.
