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.

@AntisocialTroll 1- Great cover and a great tribute but I don't think anyone compares to dolores o'riordan. It also had a very specific relevance to the time and place.

2-Love Skald and I find this cover kind of hilarious. lol

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I love both the original Zombie and this one pretty equally. As for Skald, I'd never even bother to listen to the original as this version is soooo good.

@AntisocialTroll Definitely.

And I was never really a huge White Stripes fan.
