Blue Oyster Cult or

It’s one of those songs that the artists brings a whole new dimension to it. Covers like that, are my favorites. They don’t necessarily beat the original (very hard to do, though occasionally a few have,) but they just bringing their own color and flavor to it. Has it’s own unique feel. I have dozens of examples of covers like this that actually compete a bit with the original.

In this case, I adore BOC and think theirs is awfully hard to beat and the best… but I do really like her version. 🖤

Keep Shelly's rendition is okay, however, lacks some of the elements in the original which make it a classic, especially Buck's guitar riff. Part of my opinion might be tainted because I'm a BOC fan.

Where's the Cowbell? I feel like SNL lied to me.

And Shelly Athens sounds better.

The epic BOC that produced the iconic line "More COWBELL!!!!!😀

The KSIA sounds a bit....Fade into Me,or Cowboy Junkies

BOC hands down.

Ugh, neither. Sorry
