Stumbled upon this one last year, love it

I don't like 80's music much anyway so I may be a tad biased...

 

[Theraima]

Not many I know..

If I recall this one is cover from I Will Survive



And this one is much better than the original one.

Beatle's Twist and Shout > Isley Brother's Twist and Shout


Jimmi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower > Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower

I actually thought some of the songs on Elite Beat Agents sounded better than their originals, or at least they would have if the sound quality wasn't so cack. Rock This Town was much better on EBA, as was Jumping Jack Flash and Let's Dance. In my opinion, anyway.

While I acknowledge that the cover sounds good, it'll never replace the original in my opinion.

Imo the A-ha and Dead or Alive covers are horrendous.

No videos available but every song on the album is better than the original:

Mad World + Gary Jules

Obviously.

The Man Who Sold the World. I like Bowie, but I thought the unplugged music and Kurt's singing style suited the the song more.


Can't Take My Eyes Off You. Pretty much most covers sound much better to me than Frank Valli's original, don't really like his style.


Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Joan Boaz's voice is just too sharp for me to enjoy. Plus, Zeppelin's version is the first I've heard. But the style between the two is so different it's magical.


And I thought that Muse's version of Feeling Good was almost as good as Nina Simone's original version, but Nina Simone's version is till better.

Eurythmics was the original.

AIC Version > Opeth Version.

The original of Isaak was just to slow and boring. HIM made it much more enjoyable and much more awesome-er!!!!!!
