Best cover version of a song ever

[waitingfortheendtocome]

Can't decide my favourite, either Disturbed's 'Sound of Silence' or Chrissie Hynde's 'Creep' both much better than original! What are yours?

Bruce Springsteen's version of Jersey Girl

Maxwell's cover of This Woman's Work by Kate Bush

Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind. I love Elvis's version, but Willie really pulls at my heartstrings. You can hear the regret pouring out of it.

Joe Cockers version of 'help from my friends' is about 20x better than the Beatles

China Drum - Wuthering Heights

Hey Ya by Obadiah Parker

Oh and Wonderwall by Mike Flowers of course

Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares to U for me as well.

Bauhaus' version of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. The original is great but the cover has so much energy.

Virtually everything that Walk off the Earth have done. Look them up on YouTube and you'll get lost for hours.

Go your own way - Seaweed.
Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles.

wherethefuck we're going to see them at the end of April!
I love 'Hello from the other side'. Just for the high kicking

“Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Travis. Slower and fantastic.

Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah
Eva Cassidy’s Over The Rainbow
GnR - Live and Let Die
Sheryl Crow’s Sweet Child O’Mine NOT

Dusty Springfield's version of 'Windmills of my Mind' is glorious.

Wet wet wet - love is all around

Not the best track in the world but lots better than the original.

😱 donttickle I can't tell you how envious I am 😩 I was desperately waiting for them to release their dates but we live in such an awkward part o the country and there's just no way we could make it to any of the places they're playing at 😓 Give Marshall my love 😍

Shatners I love that Willie Nelson cover too - I really like the woman singing "you did, you did" to him as well.

Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Yes Mrs Gloop! I came on to say Travis - Baby One More Time. King of covers and I believe the cover that prompted the Radio 1 Live Lounge trend.

We’re off to see them in the summer and I’m really hoping this will make the set.

Thank you @elliePhillips, you've made me a slightly cleverer person.

Backingvocals I love cover to cover with Robert Elms as well. They do some great songs. I totally agree that Simon and Garfunkel’s original Bridge Over Troubled Waters was the superior but I did like Aretha’s one too.

Another one to add to the list:-

Maxi Priest’s cover of Wild World is great although I do prefer the Cat Stevens original

It's all over now baby blue - Joan Baez

Someone said Melissa Etheridge's cover of Take a Little Piece of my Heart. Have tonsay I prefer Erma Franklin's version.

Ooh and I love Jamelia's version of Numb on the Live Lounge
