Was wondering what songs covered have you listened too and thought Wow I prefer that to original...

For me recently its been two

Disturbed version of Simon and Garfunkel Sound of Silence and might be surprised by this Sleeping at Last version of the Proclaimers 500 miles...

All along the watchtower-Hendrix instead of Dylan.

Maybe even, although harsh today, Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah done by Jeff Buckley.

God no, disturbeds version is nowhere near better than the original. Simon and Garfunkel didn't need autotune.

2 jump to mind.

Adele version of make you feel my love is better than Dylans version and Amy Winehouse version of valerie was better than the Zutons origional.

Actually have thought of another.

Nothing compared to you. Even Prince said Sinead o'Connors version was better than his.
