Default What one song do you like better than its original?
You've Got A Friend by James Taylor. I love the Carole King version too, but his vocal touches my heart more.

Sheryl Crow covering Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses. I love them but never liked that song until she covered it.

Dixie Chicks' cover of Patty Griffin's 'Top of the World." I think it's the strings, gives it more depth & feeling for me.

Nice one. I would say I prefer Emmylou's cover of any song, I adore her voice so much, particularly Bob Dylan's Every Grain of Sand from her Wrecking Ball album.

Also:

Tori Amos' version of I Don't Like Mondays The Boomtown Rats) and Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana). Patti Smith's version of Because the Night (originally Bruce Springsteen) and Fiona Apple's version of Across the Universe (The Beatles).

Definitely. I love the lush arrangment and how melancoly her voice is.

Also- 10,000 Maniacs- Because the Night
Eva Cassidy- Fields of Gold (I have bawled my eyes out several times to this song)
Alanis Morrisette- Crazy
