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?

Date: 2009-03-15 01:17 pm (UTC)Controversially, I think Monumentum's cover of "Fade To Grey" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ups--V18eEg) (which I acquired from a compilation for Italian record label Palace of Worms) does actually beat the original.
I also think Rosetta Stone's version of "When The Levee Breaks" is better than the original, though I was never that big a Rosetta fan. Good call though, the overblown musical elements really worked better when turned up to 11.
