Cover songs that are better than the original?

[IckGirl]

I'll start.

Pet Shop Boys, Always on my Mind.

You?

So many blues covers… but two that spring to mind are:
Goin' Down Slow by Free and I Can't Quit You Babe by Led Zeppelin.

Agreed

I’ve got a Spotify playlist of covers already and most of them already been mentioned plus some I will add! One I’ve not seen in here:

Skinny Love by Birdy

I mentioned ‘the bird and the bee’ and their cover of I’m into Something Good but they also do a great cover of Hall and Oates ‘Maneater’.

Nothing compares to you - Chris Cornell
Umbrella - manic street preachers

@winemedown possibly! 😂
