Jose Gonzalez -Heartbeats

is arguably better than The Knife's version The Knife - Heartbeats


Not sure if it's been listed but Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends is better than the Beatles. The Beatles even said this much

Give me the Knife’s original, but that is a fantastic cover.

Molly Hatchet's version of "Dreams I'll Never See" by Greg Allman...completely different arrangement.


It's a great song but it's a remake of Buddy Miles's arrangement of the original.

No. Russ Ballard did the original and Head East covered it before Rainbow.

The Brian May Band version of "Since You've Been Gone" is still better than the versions by Rainbow, Head East and Russ Ballard

It's not better than the original, but I absolutely love A Perfect Circle's cover of When The Levee Breaks.
