    Default Cover versions that are better than the original

    This could be a pretty contentious thread.
    Put up cover versions you think are just as good, if not better, than the original.

    I'll kick it off with this one.


    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Anything by Kris Kristofferson!
    (He wrote some good songs (Bobby McGee, Sunday morning coming down, etc) but by hell, he couldn't sing)

    A different take on a classic...

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, originally by Nine Inch Nails. Probably the only video clip to ever leave me with goosebumps.

    I remember reading about when Trent Reznor first heard it/watched the video clip, he said something along the lines of "wow, it's like I've just lost my girlfriend, that song isn't mine anymore".

    Cold Chisel's version of Wild Thing (original by The Troggs). This version is a little long and self-indulgent in the middle, but still rocks:

    I like James Carr's version of Dark end of the street
    but I prefer Richard and Linda Thompson's version

    And they say that white people can't sing songs with feeling
