Cover versions better than the original

I know it is all about personal opinion but how you can think that version of I Beg Your Pardon is better than the original? Different certainly!

artistically not I'd agree! But more likely to stick it on in the background when drink is flowing as it has a bit humour and pace, the original has definitely more merit but very dry by comparison!

 

[NodsNeph]

probably split opinion, but I think this is magnificent.

Beautiful that

It's certainly not the same in a cut glass English accent..

Miley Cyrus did it better than Dolly and SEB

 

[DBStar]

Bananarama's version of Help.

It's not a cover version. It's a shower of shit with a sample of a classic thrown in to somehow hopefully redeem the fact that it's a shower of shit.

SEB's version is like a mix of the white stripes version and this

I think people are now just posting covers to show the breadth of their musical knowledge not ones that are better.

Just my view don’t pick on me as I am sensitive.

I certainly am but this cover of Paranoid should be heard at least once.

I realise this will be unpopular but I genuinely think this is a better version.
