I agree with the Stone's version of Not Fade Away, but I like Holly's too. If no one mentioned this before, and I don't know how many would agree, but I think Nirvana's cover of The Man Who Sold the World is better than Bowie's version. I love it.

Instead of opening a new thread I decided to use this one - I've just heard the Pearl Jam cover of the Who's "Love, Reign O'er Me".
Personally, I like the cover - Eddie's vocals are just amazing but I still think Roger makes it better. I don't know why, maybe because I feel and hear much more in the original - something typically from that time, something very powerful, something everlasting. PJ's version is sweeping in the way a muddy river runs through a forest after heavy rains but it's emotional only in one direction, like, for example, pain. full stop. or great happiness. only this.
I don't think I expressed well what i wanted to but I'll be glad to hear what you think:

Pearl Jam's cover

If you want cover versions RUSHs FEEDBACK cd is brilliant its a tribute to the bands RUSH were influenced by .

Summertime blues
Heart full of soul
For whats its worth
The seeker
Mr soul
Seven is seven
Shapes of things
Crossroads

These are as just as good as the origanals, Alex Lifeson has never sounded better!

Maybe it's not better than the original, but I have been listening to Dusty Springfield's version of Piece of My Heart lately and it is just as good as Janis' version. She puts a whole different spin on it and that's what makes it good.

You Send Me- Steve Miller Band

i honestly like it more than Sam Cookes version, even though Sam is one of the greatest vocalist in history

Speaking of Stones covers, I am totally in love with Tina Turner's version of Honky Tonk Woman. Maybe not better than the original (not as much cowbell) but she certainly puts a lot of attitude into it.

Anyone ever heard Snoop Dogg's "b****es Ain't sh*t" done by Ben Folds? VERY funny, and in his version it's actually a very good song.
