circumstantial tree Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Do you know of any cover songs that you think are better than the original? For the moment I can think of two: "Let's Stay Together" covered by Tina Turner (original by Al Green) "Wild Horses" covered by the Sundays (original by The Rolling Stones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Dreams (or Dreams I'll never see) by Molly Hatchet, I love both of them (The Allman Bros Band) but I like the faster rockier version a little more.

Pratt Boy Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Van Halen - Dancing in the Street, Pretty Woman How do you feel about the tribute albums of ? It's 50/50 with me. RUSH is a hard act to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 50/50 with me. RUSH is a hard act to follow. I'm not too big on the covers of Rush tunes. Although, I have heard Skid Row cover "What You're Doing" and that was really good. Oh, and "Summertime Blues" by Blue Cheer is the best cover version, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Robert Johnson's original version can't be touched. As for the ones where the covers are better: A Little Help From My Friends by Joe Cocker Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm Born to Be Wild by Slade All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arndrake Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Stevie Ray Vaughn Both versions are great, but I think Stevie's guitar work is even more amazing. Very bluesy. But I liked almost everything Stevie did. His remakes were often many times better than the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 too true, but I thuink it seems to happen to Robert Johnson more than others - simply through the amount of people who don't realise that Cream covered Crossroads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
