Every now and then, someone comes along and writes a song. Some people like it some people don't. Some people don't even hear it. But then, sometimes, someone else comes along and re-records that song. This is called a cover. And sometimes, just sometimes, the cover completely outshines the original. You are about to see a list of covers that I think are better than the originals. But first I want to get a few things out of the way. This is not a complete list and I am likely to add to it from time to time. Secondly, there will be in no particular order. Lastly, this is what is called an opinion. These are covers that I think are better. Maybe you don't think so. And that's fine. That's YOUR opinion. Just know that when it comes to this blog, my opinion is the one that counts. On to the list.
Song title - Cover artist - Original artist
Click on the artist names for the youtube videos and compare for yourself
Say My Name - Sick Puppies - Destiny's Child
My Way - Sid Vicious - Frank Sinatra
Lollipop - Framing Hanley - Lil Wayne
Mad World - Gary Jules - Tears For Fears
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix - Bob Dylan
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley - Leonard Cohen
This last one I don't want to say is necessarily better but its certainly an honorable mention
Hey Ya - Mat Weddle - Outkast
More to come (maybe)
