covers that you can't decide which is better |

covered songs that you can't decide which is better - the original or the cover.
for me -
the first cut is the deepest cat stevens/rod stewart
all along the watchtower bob dylan/jimi hendrix
i remain torn trying to decide...
what originals/covers cause you conflict?

1. Across the Universe.... |

So many people have done that song just as well if not better than the Beatles... I always felt that was kind of a knock off song for the Fab Four...
Rufus Wrainright does a haunting version as do the Smiths

The original is by The Smiths, and the remake by Love Spit Love. Both are excellent, and have qualities the other doesn't. I just can't find a way to like one better than the other.

Tori Amos or R.E.M. I still can't choose. I've noticed on thing, though; Tori fans don't always love the "Losing My Religion" cover, but R.E.M. fans almost universally HATE it. Even those who don't think "Losing My Religion" is the best song ever.
