Post subject: Cover versions of songs, better or worse? Reply with quote

Over time music gets recycled. There's always a cover version hitting the charts some where.

So the question is, are the covers better than the original, but then there are cover versions of covers also!

So lets get posting covers versus original or even covers against covers and find out which ones did a better job at it.

To starts us off......

The Source feat. Candi Station versus Florence & The Machine
You've got the love

There are a few versions of candi station/the source so I've just picked one



versus



Personally I like the candi station versions better.
