Any "covers" ever better than the originals?

I'm sure this has been mentioned but I didn't read the whole thread.

Heresy, perhaps, if you are an R&B fan, but I prefer the Detroit Cobras' (Rachel Nagy vocal) cover of It's Raining to the incomparable Irma Thomas's original.

I like Godsmack. I do. But I just cannot consider that better than the original. Sorry, but we are going to have to disagree on that one.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but I didn't read the whole thread.

And for good reason.

ELP "Pictures at a Exhibition". Excellent Prog Rock version. Five Finger Death Punch " House of the Rising Sun", "Bad Company". Golden Earring "Eight Miles High". All great covers.

Umphrey's McGee covering The Beatles - I Want You (She's so Heavy)

Not better, but Man O Man!

Parkay.

This song floats my boat. I did not realize it was a cover until recently. I luv Hope Sandoval.

I'm fascinated by the original, especially the singer, Dagmar Krause. I may have to post another song by 'Daggi'.

Zebra's thread about Status Quo made me think of this; I give the nod to CVB.

The original is way cool, too.

Doctor Doctor (UFO) by Iron Maiden is also one of my favoured covers...

Wasp did a version too. That's the one I like.
