Query for Poptimists!

Sometimes - quite often, in fact, I think - cover versions are miles better than the original. I put forth PSB's 'Where the Streets Have No Name'. I like this MUCH better than the U2 version!

Which cover versions do you think surpass the original flavour?

As I'm a huge U2 fan and that's my all-time favorite U2 song, I have to go with U2's version.

However! I think I'm one of the very few U2 fans who not only likes the PSB cover, but thinks it's really freaking genius.

Currently, I really love Girls Aloud's cover of "Teenage Dirtbag."
