Times where you prefer a cover to the original classic version

Bruh, so glad someone else thinks about that Isley cover. That guitar riff just SINGS.
Also can't believe noone's posted this one yet:
And I'm sure few people even realize this is a cover:
Final edit I swear. This cover of Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy

Also I must be the only person who prefers the original version of Hurt. Feel like Cash missed the point of that song completely.
Good version, but you can't top Nicks.
Cyndi Lauper's Money Changes Everything is so great. Didn't even know it wasn't an original until a few years ago.
Foo Fighters covering AC/DC Let There Be Rock.
Saw them in Melbourne live and they played about 45 minutes over their set just doing these covers of various bands, fucking amazing.

I prefer The Ataris' version of Boys of Summer:
And not quite a cover but the Aston Shuffle remix of Heaven Can Wait is better than OG:

Oh what the heck, I'll nominate the following, the original version I was exposed to was performed by Pebbles and Bamm Bamm in The Flintstones, but it's an even older song.
I remember it from when I was a kid. Honestly never looked up the music video until just now, it's a bit hokey, but oh well, lol.

Almost the entire soundtrack to Sky High.
My favorite is Vitamin C's cover of Voices Carry

I really like No Doubt's cover of "It's My Life". Granted, I just finished listening to the original, but maybe Talk Talk was just better as a post-rock band than a synthpop one.
Oh yes, they do. I love their remix of the Rammstein song Ohne dich.
Edit: And since Dance with the dead has already been mentioned here's their cover of the Nightmare on Elm Street theme

I like Disturbed's version of Land of Confusion too. Surprised we haven't seen a new cover of that song in these trying times.
There was a cover of "A Deeper Love" by Aretha Franklin that was glorious. I used to listen to it everyday. Got it from a friend I'm no longer on good terms with who got it from some underground London DJ.
I accidentally deleted it at some point and haven't spent years trying to find it with no success.

Florence + The Machine cover of Foo Fighters' Times Like These from Glastonbury 2015 is just perfect.
Random thoughts inspired by this thread:
Most Dylan songs are best in their original versions (or later Dylan live versions).
Disturbed's The Sound of Silence and Calum Scott's Dancing On My Own are crimes against humanity.

Richard Harris is the original. Donna's version is shorter but she provides a lot more depth and range than the original.
The original is an Otis Redding song. Otis's version isn't bad, but we associate it with Aretha so much his just doesn't sound 'right' to my ears.

Yeah I can't believe he died only a little more than a year ago at 63. Big sad.
Why is this not on spotify :(
Came to post this. Love No Doubts version
Manfred Mann is the GOAT
Yeah, I don't get it. NIN version is one of the best ever. Cash is...ok, but the universal love it gets is a little baffling to me
Reported. Lol.
My go-to answer for the last 30-plus years:

Came here to say this word for word! Favourite track on the album
Aside from that, Arctic Monkey's cover of Drake's Hold On, We're Going Home is dope
I prefer the Lumineers version of this talking heads song.
In fact if anyones got a few days Triple J's Like a Versions has so many fantastic covers by various bands
I never knew this was a cover, I always thought it was the original. I mean if you google mad world, Gary Jules is the default result.
Someone posted this and now it is the ultimate space jam remix for me

The Supremes is good but that bass line in Soft cells gets me

Just like with Crazy Horses, the best version of House of the Rising Sun is by John Otway & the Big Band
Yeah, it's so annoying. Especially considering the Sex Bob-Omb songs are on there.
