The best cover of a song is..............

[houseworkneverends]

They wont go where I go - original Stevie Wonder, covered by George Michael. It's just perfect in every single way.

AIBU or do you think there is a better cover???

I think Callum Scott's version of Dancing on my own is just so beautiful and heartbreaking, it blows the original by Robyn away.

Hazy shade of winter by the Bangles rather than SImon and Garfunkel.

Mick Jagger and David Bowie's 'Dancing in the Street'

I Think We're Alone Now -Tiffany

Smells Like Teen Spirit -Patti Smith.

Machinehead Message In A Bottle

Mad World - Michael Andrews

I absolutely loved Charlie Puth's cover of I can't make you love me.

Also like Kacey Musgrave's cover of Three Little Birds

The Arctic Monkeys' cover of Girls Aloud's 'Love Machine'.

Wonderfully bonkers.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt far surpasses the original for me.

Placebos cover of running up that hill and Metallicas cover of whiskey in the jar are both cracking.

Omg I love their version!!!

@Blackcountryexile
Eva Cassidy's version of Time After Time

Oh just listening now. Beautiful

This

This cover is on Spotify @itsmylife7

California Dreamin - Beach Boys version far better than Mammas and Pappas original

I will always Love You - Whitney Houston's version far better than Dolly Parton's original

I can't believe everyone likes the Disturbed version I found it so shit!
But I also prefer Leonard Cohen's version of hallelujah. I love his raspy voice.

Yes!!!

Although I'd probably go with:
Eloise - The Damned
Tainted Love - Soft Cell

or Jolene - The Sisters of Mercy.

Bad wolves cover of zombie by the cranberries!! Love this version so much!!

Yubgblud and Halsey. Deathcab for Cutie, I will follow you into the dark.

ELOISE!

I was also going to say this, love it.

You cannot beat Roxy music covering jealous guy.

although Ed Sheeran et al doing no church in the wild is pretty damn good too.

thanks for that information

Blue's version of Too close by next is much better imo.

Communards - don’t leave me this way
