Under The Covers


I've discussed this with friends for some time, and finally got around to compiling this list. Here are 10 cover versions I feel are better than the originals (in alphabetical order). More to come!
 
  1. Ain’t That A Shame:  Cheap Trick (Fats Domino)
  2. Blinded By The Light:  Manfred Mann (Bruce Springsteen)
  3. Come Together: Aerosmith (The Beatles)
  4. Got To Get You Into My Life:  Earth,Wind,and Fire (The Beatles)
  5. Grapevine:  CCR (Marvin Gaye)
  6. Head On:  The Pixies (Jesus and Mary Chain)
  7. I’m A Man:  Chicago (Spencer Davis Group)
  8. Pictures of Matchstick Men:  Camper Van Beethoven (Status Quo)
  9. Turn The Page*:  Metallica (Bob Seger)
  10. You Really Got Me*:  Van Halen (The Kinks)

* Both versions are a tie for me.
