Song covers that are better than the originals


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 loved the original....still do but the version by Rodrigo y Gabriela is just so creative
Stairway to Heaven

Track 6 on Rodrigo y Gabriela ......well worth’s a listen even if you don't agree you will agree that if one has a place in your collection, both do!
