Cover versions better than the original

[Biffo The Bear]

Sinead o Connor - nothing compares 2 U
Fugees- killing me softly


Hallelujah- can’t remember his name. Canadian fella who drown. Keep thinking James bay but obviously not him

Killing me softly!
Are you serious?

 

[Scorer]

Thats the fella, cheers

Pretty sure he was American mind. Top cover nonetheless.

Isn't the correct answer
All along the watchtower by Hendrix?

 

[Red]

Quality

 

[box2box]

 

[Iballistic George]

Haven't read the whole thread but I hope to fukk nobody has said Valerie.

 

[gasman]

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Sacrilege!

 

[seahamstar]

 

[Adamfsafc]

Two by Avril - Imagine and how you remind me

 

[JonJon]

Lavigne pisses on Lennon, mind. But Valerie or Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah for Best cover.

Really though it is Jimmi, right?

 

[vinegar hill]

Handbags and gladrags by the stereophonics.

This will receive a massive like from @chunkylover53

Every time.

 

[Latka Gravas]

 

[gasman]

[seahamstar]

Killing me softly!

I agree with oROSSo .
I reckon the Fugees version is much better than Roberta Flacks (not sure if hers was the original)

[West_Winger]

Not sure if it’s been said but Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music’s version of Jealous Guy is infinitely better than Lennon’s.

Also Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt.

[Skandhaless]

Top woosh , nearly had me .
Mind I would have given my left nut for a go on Linda at that time ...now not so much .
