Covers that are better than the originals

[HantsSeagull]

This is probably one of the most disturbing country songs ever - the original in 68 and then again in 74 and 81 (and probably more since)

 

[Flounce]

Thread is far too big to know if this has already been posted. I am not much of a Stereophonics fan but this is a damn good cover

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This is insane.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

This is insane.

Better than the original?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Better than the original?

If you squint, yes.

 

[GT49er]

Dave Edmunds crafted this excellent offering from Elvis Costello's original utter dirge.

[Nitram]

So peerless it’s probably known as the original. Original was Badfinger a very underrated band also who also had the last song on the Breaking Bad series, Baby Blue.
