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.

I might disagree on that particular song but with “Hurt” I like Johnny Cash more than the NiN original.
Also I like this version of a KISS original by the Replacements.

@Pfuzylogic Loved this. Reminds me of Joe Cocker.

Replacements were very much an 80s band known for their covers but they put out two huge albums, “Tim” and “Let it be”.
