I watched Heart's version of Stairway to heaven on YouTube the other day and it is so much better than the original oh and most of Led Zeplin were there watching and they looked pretty impressed especially as John Bonham's son was playing the drums |

George Michael/Mary Jane Blige v Stevie Wonder; As.
Was gonna nominate that myself but disagree Adele’s version of fast love is better! George is always the best
George Michael - first time ever I saw your face
Placebo - running up that hill was gonna be another nomination of mine
Blow monkeys - you don’t own me
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Gnr - live and let die
Johnny cash - hurt - any person of interest fans perfectly accompanied scenes and music
I agree with
Tainted love - soft cell
Respect - Aretha Franklin (yep this is a cover version)
Controversial - much as I love Joni Mitchell I prefer Paul youngs version of “both sides now”
Joan jett - I love rock and roll
Joe cocker - with a little help from my friends |

"I watched Heart's version of Stairway to heaven on YouTube the other day and it is so much better than the original oh and most of Led Zeplin were there watching and they looked pretty impressed especially as John Bonham's son was playing the drums "
I've posted in similar fashion in previous threads - link:

"Has to be Disturbed's sound of silence as apposed the original, it's so much better. "
Not difficult to improve on the original but I am still trying to work out what is so exceptional about Disturbed.
Every time the topic of cover versions comes up this one seems to be the old chestnut.
Can't say I'm over impressed, either, by Nirvana's Man who Sold the World which would appear to be the new chestnut on the block. |

The disturbed cover was just a rip off of all that bland type of music that was popular. Bit like all those whiney girl bands and boring bland shite like yer man from Glasgow who's music is not only bland but depressing. |

"Not sure if it’s better than the original but always liked; Rent By Carter USM because it’s so different from the original Pet shop boys song"
I also love their Carter’s version of This Is How It Feels

"The man who sold the world - Nirvana. The unplugged version is the most known but the live and loud version is great too."
Bowie was a genius and a phenomenon talent but I agree, Nivanas is better. Same as the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt" |

"Johnny Cash- Hurt…even NIN said he owns that song now.
Have to agree, its brilliant."
At the end of the video, when Johnny Cash softly puts the lid down on the keys........
It's like......... he knows he's coming to the end.
