Harry Kinnear Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Manic Street Preachers - Umbrella much better than Rihanna Also helps that the female in the video is gorgeous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Not saying that all the covers are better than the originals but Motorheads Under Cover album is pretty f*cking good and well worth a listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Probably just about every song Johnny Cash has covered has been infinitely better than the Original. Especially Highway Patrolman, One and Hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll nominate Brian Ferry's version of Let's Stick Together, and probably Jealous Guy too. I'll also make certain Dundee-based posters' heads explode by saying that Tatu's version of How Soon is Now pisses all over Morrissey's version Valerie is a classic song it sounds straight out of the late 60's or early 70's, the first time I heard it on the radio I thought it was Ray Davies singing. So although the Ronson/Winehouse version in my opinion is a decent take on the song, but you are correct the original is still the best. Its a shame the two versions were brought out so close together, I quite sure more to do with the demand and hype around Amy Winehouse at the time, certainly stole the Zutons thunder quite a bit especially when some people believe its her song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Apparently Natalie Imbruglia's Torn is in fact a cover of an Ednaswap song. Imbruglia's version still better imo, other one too grungy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking dawn do a good cover of The chain by Fleetwood mac. Apparently Kiss' God gave rock and roll to you is a cover. Can't imagine original is better. Iron Maiden do great covers of I've got the fire by Montrose and cross eyed Mary by Jethro Tull. Got to agree about Disturbeds Sound of silence Superb! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
