I was listening to Billy Idol's cover of LA Woman, and I thought to myself that his version is way better than the original. So I thought I'd post a few covers that I enjoy more than the originals and see what others can add. My top five in no particular order:
LA Woman - Billy Idol Just a Gigolo - David Lee Roth Feelin Alright - Joe Cocker Roll Over Beethoven - The Beatles MacArthur Park - Donna Summer
I saw Gov't Mule about 2 weeks ago at the Beacon in NYC.. they did a cover of Jesus Just Left Chicago with David Hidalgo of Los Lobos sitting in that was just mind numbingly great...
I've learned that the choice of music preferences is a very personal thing. Having said that I will say that the first song that comes to mind is Fire and Rain as done by Blood Sweat and Tears. I find it so much more interesting musically than the original. I wouldn't argue with someone who said Taylor has the better voice. But all-in it's the version I want to listen to.
