Nope, you're not in a firefight here 
. This thread is about song covers. Now, I'm going to ask you guys to do a bit of a challenge. Listen to all three versions of the following song, or recall them if you've heard them before, and then answer in the poll (and the thread) which one you think is the best version. Then, answer the question at the bottom of the post, in the main thread. Note, this thread was inspired by my listening to this song repeatedly just now, because it's just that awesome.
Okay, so plenty of us enjoy music, and plenty of songs have been covered by other artists. So, my question to you now is, what cover versions of songs would you say are better than the original? What covers ruined the song? What are your thoughts as a whole? Share your opinions here, and even post some cool cover songs here too if you want.
To get the ball rolling just that bit more, I really hate one particular cover. Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse. When they covered The Zutons' song 'Valerie', they did such a piss-poor job, yet the cover is the one every radio station plays and everyone knows, while a pretty cool band like The Zutons remains somewhat unknown. Does that seem fair to you? Not to me, it doesn't. But for good covers? Look no further than BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Now those are some covers worth listening to...
