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

[Winstonian1984]

Depends on ones taste in music. Some might say this original is better, bu ti like the soulful sound of the Lauryn Hill Cover

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?

Dude. This is one of my favorite live songs cover or not. I tried to listen to the original. It had noting on the live version.

The cover to end all covers...

Never heard this cover - I love Live - but the angst of the song is missing

that's a bog standard pub quiz question. the bog standard answer is the Beatles Yesterday(no googling required, scouts honour).

 

i prefer the 'altered' version

loook i dunno if this fulfils the title request, but then again i don't agree with the Live version in the OP really being an improvement anyway.

 

this track(or another recorded version) is a hidden track on one of Amy's albums. you forget that the album is over and then it just comes out of the silence. beautiful.

I don't think the original one needs any reminder
