Ok - which group or singer has done better cover versions of the original - tbf Noel Gallagher does accoustic versions of his brothers singing

However this I think trumps them

Can't work out how to post the link

But YouTube search this

Kate Rusby covers Oasis' Don't Go Away

Who can post better covers?

It looks like they enjoy their music that crowd

Superb and completely different cover

Not necessarily better, but different and therefore just as good as the original:

It Must Be Love/One Step Beyond - Madness

Heatwave - The Jam

Police & Thieves - The Clash

Feeling Good - Muse

A very worthy collection but I have seen Nina Simone sing it live so for me the cover version doesn't get through

The jam one is brilliant though - Paul weller has some talent

I am loath to say some covers are better than the original, especially if said original was performed by the piece's writer/composer. Nevertheless some cracking covers are Aretha Franklin - The Weight, Redhouse Painters - All Mixed Up and Nouvelle Vague - Making Plans for Nigel.

Disturbeds version of sound of silence beats the original for me. The original is still awesome though.

Guns n roses covers of sympathy for the devil, live and let die and knocking on heavens door are all crap. Anyone thinking they are better than the originals needs to get their ears tested.

My pick is.

Nico's cover of These Days is fucking iconic. Emily Well's cover of Juicy is so different and eerie. And by the end of that summer in 2013 i was so sick of Get Lucky that Daughter's cover was a welcome change.

I know loads of people have mentioned it but i can't stand Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence. His voice is so throaty and nasal and is a bit too 'rock cliche' for me. its not an uncoverable song either, James Blake's cover sounds like an updated version of the original (then again his covers of A Case of You and Limit to your Love are impeccable).

West Dublin

"Fine Young Cannibals- Suspicious Minds , one of the best cover versions ever and Elvis version was quality too...

On a similar vein.....Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind. Pretty damn good.

On that note! Twenty one pilots version of can't help falling in love it the best I've heard"

Definitely getting some gems to listen to here. Listening to 21 pilots version NOW for first time ever. Awesome !!!
