I prefer that version to the original:

How do you mean ? The Animals wasn't the original.
This was.

The original has better eye candy mind

Hardly counts as a cover when he co-wrote it mind.

 

[Wred]

Couple of good uns

Agree with the Beefheart one, not the Devo one.

Cloth eared ****

 

[Longy]

SLF - Roots Radicals Rockers & Reggae.

 

[Conyers falchion]

Free Money by Penetration.

 

[Tommasi]

Ffs it too how many replies before someone even tried to get the right answer but failed. Someone thankfully corrected him but still didn’t state that it was the best cover version of all time.

Now the thread can end.

I actually prefer Myles Kennedy's version:

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

Yep, I was going to mention that one:

And this is another fabulous cover. Chester Bennington really does this justice, Adele's "Rolling In The Deep":

 

[Cee Jay]

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

I actually prefer the original

Not bad at all

That's shan that

Two far superior versions of Chuck Berry songs, imo

Don't agree on the Elvis one, it's a bit 'Elvis by numbers'.

Not necessarily better, but certainly a delightful take on it:

Nah gets a good rocking effort by the King, the Berry version seems a bit weak next to it, one of his best uptempo songs of the 70's for me.

Sorry, hadn't noticed it was Mr Elvis himself who'd posted it. Uh-huh.

Any Dylan cover is better than the original.

I do like that feller. Amusing and entertaining while being true to the genre. His channel has loads of cool covers.

If we're going the way of internet covers, I'll start digging out some Postmodern Jukebox...

Incidentally, that's Telly Savalas's daughter in that last video. ^
