A couple surprises from the metal world - Saxon does a killer rendition of "Ride Like The Wind" (Christopher Cross) that's very authentic. Heir Apparent does a very slick AOR remake of "Sounds of Silence" as well. I could go on and on, but these are a couple that are very good, and a little shocking.
what cover versions are better than the original
For example, Mott the Hoople's version of Sweet Jane is the equal if not better than the Velvets. Also, as long as I'm on the Velvets, a one album band called Detroit, fronted by Mitch Ryder, did a version of Rock and Roll that destroys the Velvets original.What are some other examples....this post is not for rock only....
