man, Marvin Gaye's Yesterday just pulls those emotional strings so much better than Sir Paul.

definitely disagree with the yesterday & wonderwall covers being better than the originals. strongly about those wonderwall covers.. but the first one at least i think is a joke right?

Really ack? Ryan Adams adds so much more emotion to the song imo.

i'm a sucker for soul covers of late 60's/early 70's rock. i'm usually into any of that shit.
i made a mix of them for my blog. i've posted a bunch of them here before but whatever:

And I'm a Nirvana fan.

also

at Otis Redding's cover of change being better than Cooke's, which is basically the best song ever.

i love eddie hazel as much as the next stratocaster bastard, but his version was mediocre as an actual song, amazing as a piece of guitargasm

and yes, this thread is ooooooooooooooooooooold

wow. nice version.

I also like the Nirvana version over David Bowies.

and I always liked this version of Strawberry Fields, but it's not even close to John Lennon's eery original. It's just intersting as fuck.

When I saw this I was all set to

the shit out of you but then I actually listened to cat powers version of the song. That shit is fucking dope. I wouldn't get mad at anyone who felt it was better. I'm still partial to the original but I can totally see why people would feel otherwise.

damn! this is funky stuff! I gotta add this to my collection! This is much better than the original, but then again, the original music matched the theme, so this is kind of cheating...
