Are These Really The Top Cover Songs That Are Better Than the Original Versions?

It’s interesting to hear how an artist can take a universally loved song by another artist and really make it their own.

Sometimes it’s a good cover & sometimes…not so much.

Far Out Magazine made a list of covers that MIGHT be better than the original:

1.  “All Along the Watchtower”,  Jimi Hendrix . . . originally by Bob Dylan.

2.  “Hurt”,  Johnny Cash . . . originally by Nine Inch Nails.

3.  “Hallelujah”,  Jeff Buckley . . . originally by Leonard Cohen.

4.  “The Man Who Sold the World”,  Nirvana . . . originally by David Bowie.

5.  “Jolene”,  The White Stripes . . . originally by Dolly Parton.

6.  “Me & Bobby McGee”,  Janis Joplin . . . originally by Roger Miller.

7.  “I Fought the Law”,  The Clash . . . originally by Sonny Curtis.

8.  “Mr. Tambourine Man”,  The Byrds . . . originally by Bob Dylan.

9.  “With a Little Help From My Friends”,  Joe Cocker . . . originally by The Beatles.
