Molly Hatchet’s “Dreams I’ll Never See” over The Allman Brothers Band’s “Dreams.”
only because I’m about 5 years too young to have fully appreciated the Allman Brothers for another decade of so.
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?

Good one @normb . |
Well.... you might have to listen to this to hear what I mean. There's a gorgeous transsexual singer/composer called Sopor Aeternus. Every so often, she does a cover version - and makes it utterly her own! This is her doing 'Holding Out for a Hero', originally by Bonnie Tyler. Think of the camp disco track, then listen to this....
