Covers performed better than the original......

[L.T.G]

On my way to Van Gaalens this morning I was listening to a great compilation album I"ve got, Rolling Stone's greatest 500 songs of all time and this track came on 

 

Johnny Cash:- I walk the line

 

I much prefer this version by Live

 

 

so I was wondering which covers do you reckon are better than the original?

A bunch of lighties called The Vamps have nailed a good cover of Cecilia

[Tatt]

Rammstein's cover of Stripped (original by DM). Had the joy of watching them perform in Manchester a couple of years back.

[Guest notmyname]

Trent Reznor of NIN wrote this song but Johnny Cash owns it. Quite possibly the best cover ever I think.

after being in london in 1995/6 and having that bloody song blasted from every shop, pub, club and goodness knows what else  - Jacob Zuma could sing that and it would be better....but....ryan does it justice

Agree that its a better version,but still a *** song though.
