It depends on both your taste, possibly your age and the song itself. It's not a question that can be answered with either A or B.
My own two preferred covers, or at least the two that I can think of at the moment, are Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah and Aha's Crying in the rain. I'm sure there are plenty others too that I'll think of later. |

"Johnny Cash's cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt"  "
Came here to say this. Love both versions but Cash's is haunting.
Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence is fantastic as well. |

Jealous guy Bryan ferry
There are covers I don’t mind like light my fire will young . No one will touch the doors but it’s good.
Then there are covers that are lauded but not as good. I will always love you and dancing on my own were best left alone
Don’t get me started on under the bridge

There are some songs that should never be touched ,a certain Irish manufactured band has done nothing but covers of others well known songs and personally l think there should be a law against such but there ya go.In the movie world original films should never be touched , well l think that way anyway. |

Generally the original is better, but there are a surprisingly high number of superior covers. Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead OConnor (original by Prince) for example |
