Not saying the originals are bad, just that covers are more iconic. The cover artists are now more associated with the song. I would like more "official" examples as well as personal choices. Case A: Hey Joe "Original"(First commercial recording) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZNFPaz1iw[/youtube] Cover [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAMM2Wg3DW8[/youtube] Case B: Knocking on Heaven's Door Original [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaSIPQ-Bdc8[/youtube] Cover [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmc8rJgxUI[/youtube] Case C(For Jon): Nothing Compares to You Original [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LBc7-v5exY[/youtube] Cover [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq2K4jHs92A[/youtube] Personal Mention: Cortez The Killer Not really fair because its live vs studio.

I didn't know Hey Joe was a cover, but holy shit the original is bad. I like Eric Clapton's version of Knocking on Heaven's Door significantly better. I think Eric Clapton's cover of I Shot the Sheriff is 100x better than Bob Marley's original version.

Here's another. Sufjan Steven's version of A Little Lost is so much better than Arther Russell's. Arthur Russell's version [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO2F48JKIlo[/youtube] Sufjan Stevens's version [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnofnB5gNBY[/youtube] |
