    What covers of a song are better than the original?

    While on another post I started thinking about songs that when covered by another artist were way better than the original.

    The songs that got me thinking was Sinead O'Connors "Nothing Compares to You".

    What other songs standout for you?

    I really like the Dylan version so for me there is not that much separation between the two.

    I will agree with that one.

    BTW you can feel free to like the Jimi version a lot more then the Dylan version. This is all about personal preference.

    I strongly disagree that Whitney's version is "way better".

    That would be like saying one version of "All around the watchtower" was way better then the other.

    Dolly Parton's version sounds like someone strangling cats.

    I like Warren Zevon but the Pixies just killed it on this one.





    I think the arrangement is what puts the second version over the top.
