Jim in Pa Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hey Steel, I'm with you on that. I prefer the D&D's version also. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyday Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 No way!! I like that version, but I LOVE Hendrix's. But I guess I always have been Jimi's girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMaier Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I think Eric Clapton's version of "Cocaine" is better than the JJ Cale original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_In_Green Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Isley Brothers' version of "Summer Breeze" destroys the Seals & Crofts version, with the soaring guitar solo at the end sealing the deal.

MuzikTyme Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 There was a time when I thought nothing is better than the original but when I heard this in concert back in '76 I first learned that there are times when a student outsmarts the professor. In this case; the student/s were Lynyrd Skynyrd and the professor was JJ Cale. Many examples of covers outdoing original versions but the above is the first one I noticed.

Definatly an example of the cover being better. It's interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) I really can't agree that Blondie's version of TheTide Is High is in any way superior to the original, apart from having a prettier vocalist. But what do I know? Anyway,I popped in to post a cover of Kraftwerk's "Das Model", which isn't better than the original, but still pretty fab: "Model" ~ Balanescu Quartet In fact, I've just discovered that Balanescu Quartet have done an album of Kraftwerk covers: "Possessed" "Autobahn" Edited October 12, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin1429030929 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Dancing With Myself ; heard this as a fadeout for a Slate podcast .Not a 'great' , but certainly interesting, cover . Gotta admit I'd rather hear this now than roll my eyes during yet another Idol version , though I did enjoy it when it was new. The spoken part could be reworked or edited out perhaps...

Rayzor Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I just noticed this cover was never posted (perhaps because many of you aren't familiar with the second band) "Tin Soldier" by the Small Faces was covered by Winnipeg-based rockers Streetheart on their album Drugstore Dancer. The song did very well and started the debate (that continues to this day) as to which version is better. Personally, I think it's about equal because Streetheart didn't mess around with the song. But perhaps I'm biased so listen and let me know. Tin Soldier - Small Faces Tin Soldier - Streetheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
