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

[NotSoBigBen]

Hope these werent mentioned before -

 

The Byrds version of Mr Tambourine Man was better than Bob Dylan's;

Sinead O' Connor Nothing Compares 2 U; better than Prince's;

Elvis Presley's Hound Dog better than Big Mama Thornton's (so i'm told).

I know some hippies will want to have me hanged for this but Bob Dylan may have been a great song writer but any cover of his songs would be better than him singing them.

 

Nickelback songs also can only be improved by covers and even then why bother?

I can't believe nobody mentioned this and I also forgot it.

Always reminds me of my dad.

I think many will agree with you, but some Dylan songs just need Dylan.

It's like Neil Young, I love that mans voice and the wife hates it.

Dylan and Niel young, 2 amazing songwriters, I've just got hold of the Basement Tapes, a collection of Dylan songs taped in the late 60's after a motorbike accident with The Band, well worth a listen, 6cd's and 139 songs. Can't listen to Dylan at the moment- overload

 

2 punk covers, not as good, but different

and the pistols, good for a laugh, along with their version of Friggin in the Riggin

Then the Stones singing a song they swore they'd never cover, and doing a good job of it too

But then again, Jagger can do anything

Not Jagger, the Stones. His solo career was a bit underwhelming, maybe not my type of music, unlike Richards'

Vocally, Jagger can do anything justice vocally.

guys as a kid born in the 80's who has "Oasis - What's the story (morning glory)" as his first ever album purchase, this stuff is wonderfully educational.
