The Cover Game.

[:D]

Here's the game: Post Covers You Think Are Better Than The Original!

Navigate your way over to Youtube and dig up some links.

Your post will include:

1) The Original (or most wellknown)

2) The Cover (that, in your mind, is better than the first)

As a reader, listen to both (if you're not already familiar with each), if you agree, reply or +1 it.

If you disagree, suck a lemon or reply.

Moonspell's haunting rendition trumps the original.

Edit: Christ on sale I reversed them..on both posts...i should really stop drinking this stuff.

In Extremo...bagpipes in an industrial band...and it actually sounds awesome....can't go wrong with that.

Clicked the first one without reading and spent the first half of the song trying to figure out when David Bowie decided to make terrible songs. I agree that the cover is better, but I give you no points because it's Cyndi Lauper

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

Foo Fighters - Baker Street (far superior)

Boo. The saxophone was what made the original so special and memorable...any cover without it is severely lacking.
