As a traditionalist by heart I always love the original but someone else's interpretation of the original is also nice. So, how about we post an original song and then a cover?
I'll start with one of my favourite Lynyrd Skynyrd song's, Simple Man.

And now a cover that I really like.

Classic example:
Dylan's Original (sound, no video)
YanjY9CsPDQ
Hendrix's Cover

Even Dylan himself said that Jimi's version was better. It really became his song.
While we're at it, how about a Young/Springsteen grunge version?

I had never heard that Malmsteen cover before. That's crazy.
Almost forgot about this, going back to All Along the Watchtower, the late Shawn Lane "too many notes" version
Fkjp4r8wINA
I love shred. I admire Shawn Lane. But for my money, that's not All Along the Watchtower any more. It's just a vehicle for a bunch of notes. I've heard him do far more interesting things with Jimi covers.

Here's another one. This one's in swedish, written in the very earle 1900's or late 1800's. Very sad lyrics.

Compare and contrast these versions of "Ironman." I've never been a fan of Black Sabbath, but the Cardigan's version I love.

Well, the Cardigan's version of Iron Man is certainly a unique twist, I'll give it that. I don't think it'll make me forget the Sabbath version.
How about the classic "Respect"?
