Cover versions better than the original

[Latka Gravas]

That’s a shite cover version from a shite band.

Any Dylan cover is better than the original.

Fell at the first hurdle. I love the Jam but the Kinks version has a great wry campness to it. the Jam just bludgeon through it in comparison.

Good one, always preferred the Twang version.

Most of Pin Ups.
Hard to be a Saint in the City

People quoting things they've heard on x factor ffs , oh dear .

Bauhaus- Ziggy Stardust

It's not actually any different, is it?

This

Is better than this

That was my very first thought.

Then Soft Cell's versions of both Tainted Love and What?

Midge's No Regrets, too. Not vocally maybe but the melody is much stronger.

Stumbled upon a cover of Sam Smith's Stay With Me by current lineup of The Temptations the other day - it was actually quite good.

Good shout with "no regrets", great song he maybe equalled it.

I have always thought Mott the Hoople's "all the young dudes" as better than Bowie's but some may argue that was the original .

Good call that, too.

Same as China Girl, I guess... Bowie's version is much better than Iggy's and probably how he wanted it to sound in the first place.

Nope.

 

[Dodgy]

Another great call.
