Lizzy Mercier Descloux covering "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown on Serge Gainsbourg's show "Midi Première". Doesn't get much cooler than that. I couldn't tell you which version I prefer. Both are awesome:

Martin Barre's Band has covered quite a few songs, and made them quite interesting, to say the least. Eleanor Rigby is one of those. Interesting arrangements and quite pleasant.

The cover of '21st Century Schizoid Man' by the LA trio Fuzz is
pretty solid as a heavy psych piece, but honestly, nothing really
compares to the original studio version! |

Black Midi's cover of '21st Century Schizoid Man' is also very good. |

The first version of "Born To Be Wild" that I'd heard was on Slade's "Slade Alive!", and there is also a version of the song on Blue Öyster Cult's "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees". I prefer both of these to Steppenwolf's original. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

A ghostfolky version of "Moonchild" by Marissa Nadler. Perfect whenever you're not in the mood for those six minutes of (very pretty) noodling

Toronto's hard-rock outfit with a female lead, Blood Ceremony,
totally nailed their rendition of Jethro Tull's 'New Day Yesterday.'
This cover found its place on the V/A compilation album, 'Something in the
Water,' which dropped in 2013 through Rise Above Records and Record
Collector Magazine; the album is packed with some rare tracks and
features beautiful artwork by renowned NYC illustrator Arik Roper. |

I have cheched out various music and found some really wonderful to my tastes music.
Here is "Igor Krutogolov's Toy Orchestra plays live "A Little God In My Hands" by SWANS" I won't say that I prefer it to the Swans original, but it is fun. And I really like this cover of Swans' "Killing for Company" (a fave of mine by Swans) by synth and dream poppy-band Tempers. I like how different it sounds.

Hi,
I think I'm going back to The Portsmouth Sinfonia! On second thought, I'm going to play Seasonings 1/2 TSP by PDQ Bach. Some of the stuff here is not ... nice ... one listen to Stackridge doing the Beatles ... and at least you can say ... that's good! Progressive, or BS or not!

Since 21st Century Schizoid Man was mentioned, have to bring up Shining's cover:
In terms of bands whose covers beat the original, I usually like Manfred Mann's covers better than the original. Blinded by the Light being the classic example

hi, MM always did someone that he thought had better lyrics, or was an important writer. Bob Dylan was his favorite in every album. The Bruce stood up for one album, and it was a better version than the original. And then he did Mike Heron. And I think he went back to Bob Dylan ... honestly, these are the best and most "caring" of just about any covers ... some of them beautifully done. Bob Dylan certainly has his followers ... Sandy Denny was a huge fan and did many of his songs. And even Brian Ferry did the same.
