What do you think are better covers than the original versions.

I quite like Joe Cocker's version of With a little help from my friends and Gary Jules, Mad World.

"Mr Tambourine Man - Byrds"

No disrespect to you, Edmund, but I consider that to be the worst cover of all time. The Byrds COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD what the song was about. The sang the chorus and second verse of a five-verse song, getting the words wrong. I hate it!

///Toorak Bryan Ferry - these foolish things/// is from his album As Time Goes By. I love the songs on there and play it when I'm in a nostalgic mood.

the Stones' version of I Wanna Be Your Man is better than the Beatles' but I think it was actually the first one recorded.
