Thank you for proving my point. John Mayer...lol.

You do realize the song "Beat It" is not about what you and Tito do together every Saturday night-right???????????????????????

Do you think you have enough question marks? :roll:

Always thought Bob Seger's 'Fortunate Son' was far better than CCR's...and I'm not really a Seger fan.
Used to like Frampton's 'Jumpin Jack Flash' too.

I prefer Pat Benatar's version of "Wuthering Heights" over the original by Kate Bush. I like Bananarama's version of "Venus" over the original from The Shocking Blue, and I prefer the slowed down version of "Help" by John Farnham over the original by The Beatles.

Like JSS' edgier version of Crazy more than Seal's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtWJIzKejmU

Always liked Bon Jovi's version of With A Little Help From My Friends too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zpjt4vjrjY

And Mr. Big's version of Baba O'Riley. See sig.

Not sure if I like BJ's and Mr. Big's versions more than the originals, but probably just as much as. But prefer JSS' Crazy better than the original.

I just thought of one from the other night. Heart did a pretty amazing cover of The Who's "Love, reign o'er me."

Ann Wilson WAILED!

by **amaron** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:26 am

I still prefer Lacuna Coil's cover of 'Enjoy the Silence' more than Depeche Mode's original.

Also, Jeffrey Gaines' version of "In Your Eyes" stands up to Peter Gabriel's version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXyX45A0Alk- Gabriel

Man, I love Gabriel. The original version is just mesmerizing. Gaines is nowhere near as competent vocally but i'll agree it does stand up well.

How about this live version by Gabriel -

You better sit down before I tell you this because you won't believe it. I like Soto's version of Crazy better too.

I liked Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal a lot better than MJ's.

P.S. You better watch the Beat It comments.

With the exception of "Spirits in the Night" Manfred Mann's covers of Bruce Springsteen's, "Blinded By The Light" and "For You" are much better...of course, in MY opinion, that wouldn't take much! lol!

Absolutely spot on.

Asolutely agree on "Wurthering Heights", why Kate has to SCREAM her version I'll never understand. Pat made that song beautiful! Have to disagree on "Venus". I love Shocking Blue's version.

[quote="finalfight"]Is there such a thing as a cover version that betters the original or at least improves on it in some way?

Marilyn Martin singing Move Closer. Way better than Phyllis......

I actually prefer Danzig's take on David Bowie's Cat People to the original.

Bowie original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr_AksECzuo

Danzig version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gbagplwbVs

Both versions take a while to get going though...
