Great cover versions - better than the original ?


Recommended Posts

Why does it need be a comparison with the original? Why not "this is a great cover version", and leave the listener to decide whether it's better than the original. Otherwise  the opening post is basically trolling Velvet Underground fans and Japan's version is good enough to stand on it's own without David Slyvian's vocals facing the impossible task of competing with Nico (or Nick Cave for that matter).

Speaking of which Nick Cave makes a pretty good fist of T Rex’s “Cosmic Dancer”
