What’s a cover of a song that’s better than the original?

Personally I think Nirvana’s version of The Man Who Sold the World is better than Bowie’s.

@BlueMetalChick everyone in the world seems to prefer Jimi's all along the watchtower. Everyone except me 😂

@SW-User Well, it's hard to not like Bob Dylan. But the Hendrix version is so psychedelic and trippy with the guitar work that it really compliments the strange dreamy lyrics.

@SW-User I actually have a pencil drawing of Jimi Hendrix on my bedroom wall.

@BlueMetalChick Is that the drawing you posted on here before? If so, it's really good.

@SW-User Yep, it sure is.

Have I ever shown you my entire wall?

@BlueMetalChick I don't think so but I'd love to see it
