Who did it better, the original or the cover?

[Brian37]

Now, This is more about songs that you like the cover more than the original.

I won't start because every one knows what I will post. So this is for you. Post the title of the song, artist, but only the video of the band that covered the newer version you like more.

Joan Jett, 'I Love Rock n Roll'

I love Rock and Roll, who did that before Joan Jett?

Blondie, who did "The Tide Is High" before Blondie?

Pat Benatar, who did Heartbreaker" before her?

I think you missed the point of this post. Who did better covers than the original artist?

For example I think Pat Benatar did a better cover of "I Need A Lover" than John Cougar Mellencamp"

Or Pat Benatar's cover of The Beatles " Helter Skelter"

Blondie "I'm A Gonna Love Ya Too" a cover of the Buddy Holly song.

I think Whitney Houston did a better version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"

No, I didn’t miss the point. All of the songs I listed were covered by the named artist.

‘The Tide Is High’ was originally recorded by The Paragons, and ‘Heartbreaker’ by Jenny Darren.
