Original songs better than their more famous cover versions

[Capt. Orr]

BMT was a goddess.

I'm on about the rod stewart one not Buble.

Ah. Sorry. Was I rude?

Suppose I was.

The Sutherland Brothers (and Quiver) were, I’ll admit, quite ‘niche’ but for those of us who are a certain age and watched the old grey whistle test... well you get my drift.

Please forgive my curt impolite ramblings

Buddy Guy on guitar anarl

 

[The Archer]

Never knew the Blondie version wasn’t an original. Speaking of which...

 

[What A Waster]

You thinking the one direction one is more famous?

Possibly the most misunderstood thread since mine on working class golfers.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac did a brilliant version of this but this is much better.

Not to me but it probably is to the X factor generation.

Yeah it was posted on my phone after a few pints. I have got so used to the recurring thread the reverse of this one I assumed that was what it was.

Original by Chuck Berry way better than Elvises version.

Class!

I’m in love with a German film star originally by the passions about a roadie for the clash who became a bit of a film star in German b movies

Never realised that had been redone, had the album on just the other day.
Just for that, I had this playing in the office the other day and one of the youngsters said he had a cover of it ( I leave that to whoever can be arsed)

 

[Boy]

Close call but edges out The Cramps version.... maybe?

 

[Vinyl Score]

This original is so much better than the wanky Coldplay cover version.
