Gospel Zone Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Numerous Robert Johnson songs that were covered by rock artists such as: Crossroads - Cream Love In Vain - Rolling Stones Stop Breaking Down - Rolling Stones When I hear the originals they sound like the same song with different words, but I'm glad these other artists saw something in them and made them their own.

Electrophile Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Nicolette Larson's cover of Lotta Love is better than Neil Young's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermedalist Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The version of Dont let the Sun Go Down on Me at the Live Aid concert in 1984 by George Micheal was better than Eltons in my opinon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 99.9% of Zeppelin's covers are better than the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 99.9% of Zeppelin's covers are better than the originals. I prefer Joan Baez's version of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. I think her voice is better suited for that track than Plant's, although LZ's version isn't bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Norrsken's cover of "Pilot" by Blue Cheer. Both are very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Oh, I'm sure there are a lot of them..... Not that the original is bad, in any way.... But, I do like Guns & Roses version better, than the original by Paul McCartney.

mokarran Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thunder have performed plenty of good covers as live versions, album tracks and singles. Their version of 'In a Broken Dream' is a great performance and one that I prefer to the original.My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 99.9% of Zeppelin's covers are better than the originals. You're crazy. Although, many are equally good in my opinion. Also props to Zep for making something original out them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
