what cover versions are better than the original


For example, Mott the Hoople's version of Sweet Jane is the equal if not better than the Velvets. Also, as long as I'm on the Velvets, a one album band called Detroit, fronted by Mitch Ryder, did a version of Rock and Roll that destroys the Velvets original.What are some other examples....this post is not for rock only....

Hey Gordus......the album and band was named DETROIT, not The Detroit Wheels.......do not mess with us real rock and rollers.........it was a one off album with a local all star band in the mid to late seventies ....do you REALLY think a guy who knows his rock and roll history and lived it would mistake a band called DETROIT for The Detroit Wheels??????

p.s. this also applies to you too Mt10425!!!
Thank you Bld63!!! I knew I wasn't totally senile (yet). Do you know if the Detroit album was ever released on CD?
Thank you again Bld63 for defending my honor....as for you Avguygeorge...if you'd have carefully read this thread then you'd of already been enlightened by my new best friend!
