what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?

Lee Ritenour and Kurt Elling add poignance and emotional coherence to ‘River Man’. Nick Drake really didn’t have a chance on so many levels. 
 

With all love and respect for Dionne Warwick IMO, Issac Hayes really nails ‘Walk On By’.

"Blinded by the light" - Manfred Mann / Bruce Springsteen

Phish - Lovin Cup (Stones)

phish - Peaches en Regalia (Zappa)

Phish - Frankenstein (Edgar Winter)

Phish - Drowned (The Who)

Phish - Roses Are Free (Ween)

Phish - Cities (Talking Heads)

Phish - Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House (Disney album)

Power of love - Celine Dion

Nothing else matters - Miley Cyrus and Elton John

Someone mentioned the ‘Sound of Silence’ by Disturbed which is great, so another fun one for me, (which was equally mentioned as a great cover by the Animals), would be ‘House of the Rising Sun’ by Five finger death punch.
