Covers that are better than the original.

Have you heard it?

Probably one of the biggest covers that was better than the original is Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends"

Edit - damned, TLO beat me to it!

Did you know what you did there?.Possibly the best ever??

Ayo technology covered by milow. I hated the original by 50cent, I think. But milow uses a guitar and slows it down, makes it sound good, instead of that rap crap! Check it out!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV11oDLtlmc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Jimi Hendrix All along the Watchtower knocks Dylan's version into a cocked hat, not often anyone can do a Dylan song better than him

Jeff Healey's versions is better than both

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Jeff Healey's versions is better than both

Didn't U2 have a pop at that as well?

Fine young cannibals - Suspicious minds, Is it actually allowed to be better than Elvis?

Elvis covered it himself.

 

[Case's Gull]

Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World" does it for me.

 

[Grendel]

Happy Mondays cover of Step On is about 5 millions times better than the John Kongos original.

 

[The Large One]

Have you heard it?

Yep. She's out of tune, for one.

 

[catfish]

Clapton's version of I Shot The Sheriff is even better than Bob's original.

Sorry, is this one of these joke ones that tempt the gullible (like me) into replying?

My only point would be, why did Kelly Jones do his best to alter his voice to sound like Rod Stewart?? Still they sing it together now, so maybe I shouldn't be so hasty.

Also Leona Lewis covering Run by Snow Patrol

I think not.
