Cover Songs Better Than The Original

“Knights in White Satin” by The Dickies.

Nitpicking: “Dead Souls,” and I think the original is better. I do slightly prefer Xiu Xiu over Joy Division/New Order for “Ceremony,” for pathos.

They also did “Don’t Cha,” popularized by the Pussycat Dolls. I have never heard Xiu Xiu’s version, but I guarantee that it is better.

“Magical Mystery Tour”
“California Man”
“Waiting for The Man/Heroin”

All by Cheap Trick.

Last Caress by The Misfits - great.
Last Caress by Metallica - best cover ever.

Respect covered by ** Aretha Franklin**
