Cover versions better than the original

[gards2]

Joe Cocker (Woodstock) - A little help from my friends.

Probably already been said though.

 

[fyl2u]

It's decent but it's not a patch on Dolly's version.

 

[muggboots]

Away man @muggboots theres never been a serious thread about music anywhere ever. I heard Dave the rave do a cover of ‘I wanna be a hippy’ out side c&a once was canny. Here’s another one mate. Give it a listen.

Oooooh, that whiney fucker gets on me wick. Not Dave the Rave, TJ Cocker in the clip.

Bauhaus- Ziggy Stardust

Don't be f***ing stupid.

It hadn't, as far as I'm aware, but it could never be said enough!!!!!!!

 

[Tatty]

The Man Who Sold The World

Nirvana > Bowie

 

[muggboots]

Don't know how to get vids up but two covers not already mentioned spring to mind
Andy Bey / River Man
Prince / A Case of You

Nah, not having it. The instrumental parts are almost identical and the vocal is just his purposely out of key jazz inflected baritone ruining it.
I can't really stand Prince so I'll take your word on that one.

 

[Laeotaekhun]

He made that song his own!

I'm talking about Cocker at Woodstock.

The Man Who Sold The World

Nirvana > Bowie

You are dead to me.

 

[Roid]

 

[ShoutyBearHead]

The Man Who Sold The World

Nirvana > Bowie

Lulu’s version is better than Nirvana’s - and neither are as good as the original

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Couple of good uns

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

The original has better eye candy mind

 

[Uncle D]

Oooooh, that whiney fucker gets on me wick. Not Dave the Rave, TJ Cocker in the clip.

[consettsafc]

And Black Sabbath were/are one of my favourite bands

 

[Pat Mustard FTM]

PM Dawn- Set Adrift On A Memory Bliss

 

[Mickdundee]

Johnny Cash / Hurt

Just finish the thread here...

I prefer Cash’s cover of In My Life from the same record.

 

[Kid Galahad]

Two far superior versions of Chuck Berry songs, imo

 

[The Hesford Diet]

I prefer that version to the original:
