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..

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 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;)
