Title: A Cover You Liked Better Than The Original
Post by: asdf2231 on September 28, 2008, 07:46:26 PM
Is there a song or songs that someone covered where you wound up liking the cover version better than the original?

Here's on of mine:

"Love Hurts", I like the Nazareth version better than the Everly Brothers Version. Hell I like Roy Orbisons cover better than the Everly brothers version. Even Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris did a better version.

Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time

Britney did a remix of that song,kind of a blues mix I thought was pretty good.

Did not know that, may be worth looking for it. It's really not such a bad song though the original is not really a kind of music I like. (at all, lol)

You want some strange interesting covers. Go to youtube and search for "Hayseed Dixie". Bluegrass covers of songs by Metallica , Areosmith , Led Zepplin. AC/DC , Black Sabbath etc etc...

Now I love NIN so it was hard to admit this, but we did the Johnny Cash version of it at my bil's funeral and I really love the remake.

I had never heard "Hurt" before Johnny Cash's cover. Thinking that the original might be better, I listened to the NIN version.  I have to agree, that Cash's is done with more feeling.

I know it is sacrilege, but GFR's live cover of "Gimme Shelter" was better than The Stones'.

For that matter, GFR's "Locomotion" was better than the original.

How about a song written and recorded by someone and the song didn't go anywhere. The song writer got in a pinch for cash,sold the rights to the song, The song is recorded by someone else and is a hit. Later on the songwriter is a recording artist in their own right and rerecords the song and it's a hit.   Crazy isn't it.
