How about a cover that's BETTER than the original!

[AcousticAl]

New interpretations of songs by different artists are always cool.. especially when they do a BETTER job than the original singer/songwriter (subjective of course).

I'll start the ball rolling...

I prefer April Wine's 'Bad Side of the Moon' over Elton John/Bernie Taupin's..

[Lavallee]

I prefer Black Betty from Spiderbait than Ram Jam

Here's another..

I like Manfred Mann's 'Blinded by the Light' better than Bruce Springsteen's..

Edit- I added the link here so Suzi could clearly see the better version.

I didn't even know there was another 'Black Betty' Marc.
Will check that out.

Just saw the Spiderbait version on youtube. It ROCKS!

[Lavallee]

I like the Spiderbait version, it is faster and it features slide on banjo (unorthodox instrument in rock today (the last one I remember is gallow's pole from Led Zeppelin issued last year;)
