Aerosmith's version of Come Together is better than the original also Van Halen's version of You really got me is way bigger than the original |

| Lady Marmalade by Labelle - killer dance floor filler! Compared to the writer's version by The Eleventh Hour - instant mood killer. Hard to believe Patty could hear the hit but she did. |

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher - YouTube Richard Cheese - Hot For Teacher (Original By Van Halen) - YouTube Now that's what I call a surprising cover. I'm stunned. I had *no* idea. Piano solo : at 1:54 there's a 'Chopsticks' reference, and later a 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' reference.  | |

Al Green's 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart' over the Bee Gees original. And most of Ray Charles' catalogue!

9 pages and no one mentioned Streethearts version of the Stones' Under My Thumb. Also The Isley Bro's version of Love The One You're With.

Diehard Stones fans might consider the preference blasphemy, though. But it's a *great* cover. Many think it's the best cover version of a song ..... *ever*. STREETHEART---UNDER MY THUMB - YouTube EDIT : WARNING ! This cover is smokin' hot. I had totally forgotten how it *burns*. Definitely in a elite category, showing us exactly what modern rock is missing : raw, organic dynamics in a dedicated and extended instrumental section. *WOW*. Seriously, wow. | |

I really think it's a Canadian Cult(ure) sort of thing..... and I'm blinded by that historical light (and the rocking instrumental flyaway). | |

I gotta say I like all the covers on that "Otis Blue" record more than their originals, except maybe My Girl

I have to mention Waylon Jennings version of Lucille. I heard it at least a hundred times and did not realize Little Richard wrote it.(i"m very familiar with Richard's version)If I had not stumbled onto the songwriters credit I still wouldn't recognize it and that kills me 'cause it is less of a "changed" cover than Devo's Satisfaction. I really enjoyed this fun thread and I want to mention 2 covers that I really like 1. Phantom 309 by Tom Waits 2. Do You Want To Dance -I saw Brian Wilson play this -AWESOME !! |

I couldn't imagine loving anything more than the the Chris Bell version of "You And Your Sister"- but then I heard This Mortal Coil's arrangement. More recently, the Supergrass lads' version of Lovecats on their excellent Hot Rats album.

I can't believe some of these were not mentioned: Gloria - Patti Smith version kills Them's version 2001 Theme - Deodato version a great take on the original orchestral version Wild Thing - Hendrix destroys The Troggs. X did a fantastic version also. Cause We've Ended as Lovers - Jeff Beck's version is better than Stevie Wonder's even without the vocals. Wrong Piano - Cowboy Junkies do Vic Chestnut proud and own it Lots of ones mentioned already I agree with but I have to clean the vomit out of my mouth when I see someone say that Guns and Roses did a better version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" than Bob Dylan. They ruined that song 10 different ways. Sorry....I am done venting now ;-) |

Of course, I'm sure some would feel the same way about some of my picks, too. | |

I've probably already said this on this thread, but SRV's Little Wing beats Jimi's in my book, no contest.
