Surprised I didn't see this topic already on here.
So yeah, what songs do think other bands have covered that actually sound better than the originals?
My picks would be:
"
For What it's Worth" - Originally released by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. Covered by Band of Joy in 1968. (Features Robert Plant and John Bonham from Led Zeppelin!)
