Respect, Aretha Franklin. But the original was pretty darn good too.

It’s a matter of personal preference, but I think:

The Peter Hollens version of “I See Fire” was better than Ed Sheeran’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yymS1Pb7JfM

The Geoff Castellucci version of “Ghost Riders In The Sky” is better than any of the older versions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yymS1Pb7JfM

And The Tenors (and Lindsey Sterling) did a better job with “Who Wants To Live Forever” than Queen did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbYG30ucL7Q

I’m sure I’ll think of more later. Hopefully those links work.

"Hazy Shade of Winter" by the Bangles is better then the Simon and Garfunkel version.

The original is mildly sad. The Bangles is wild despair.

Of course the song added depth to the movie which was good as well.

Manfred Mann’s cover of The Exciters’ Doo Wah Diddy

How about Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's Blinded By The Light?

How about Springsteen's cover of Santa Clause Is Coming To Town?

Stevie Ray Vaughn covering Hendrix.

Hendrix was the creative genius.

Stevie was the axe master.

Norah can sound pretty sultry and seductive when she lets herself relax.

Better doesn't begin to cover it.

Cash's version is one for the ages.

Girls Talk by Dave Edmunds and Rockpile. Much better than what the author, Elvis Costello did with it.
