I do like the cover, but still enjoy the fast pace of the original.
 
Johnny Cash's cover of "I Hung My Head" is FAR superior to Sting's.

Has anyone covered Queen's theme from Highlander? Just asking. . .
 
I don't think it's in Highlander, but there is an interesting cover of Queen's "One Vision"

I bet no one can guess what song this is until the first verse hits.
 
Without clicking on it and reading the title. :cmad::o

I think both are pretty good. Classic sexy song. :up:
 
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - The Shirelles (Original)

Cover - Elton John

Two very different but equally excellent takes on a great song.
 
A few of my thoughts:
Come Together (Beatles) Best version: Michael Jackson (Aerosmith a close second.)
I'll Be There (Jackson Five) Best version: Mariah Carey
And I Am Telling You (Jennifer Holiday) Best version: Jennifer Hudson
Ribbon In The Sky (Stevie Wonder) Best version: Intro
Can You Stand The Rain (New Edition) Best version: Boyz II Men
Loving You (Minnie Riperton) Best version: ORIGINAL!!! (Although Shanice wasn't bad.)
Love Don't Live Here Anymore (Rose Royce) Best version: ORIGINAL!
Superstar (The Carpenters) Best version: Luther Vandross
I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton) Best version: Whitney Houston
 
I'm going to have to disagree with your last one. I think Dolly's original is superior to Whitney's.

Wouldn't be the first time someone disagreed with me on music. Oh, well.

Lacuna Coil Cover

I love Lacuna Coil's version. Christina Scabbia has such a beautiful voice and it fits perfectly with this song.
 
every single song Johnny Cash has covered owns the original
 
I think the best version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky" was the one from the GR movie.
