Does I Wanna Be Your Man count as a cover? Stones released it first and by all accounts they really wrote it as well as it was only half a song when they got given it. But in any case it's far superior to the Beatles version.
????
Never heard that version of the story.
Other than Brian adding wicked slide, it was pretty much recorded as it was written by the Beatles as far as I know.
And not sure it would count as a cover - as you say the Stones released it first.
But if it does count as a cover, I'd agree the Stones version just might surpass the Beatles version...maybe.

"Every track from Rock n Roll 1975"? Wow, to name a few John destroyed Chuck Berry's You Can't Catch Me and Sweet Little Sixteen with totally messed up arrangements and overally produced brass. I even have the "Roots" album (the way it was supposed to sound" and it still sucks mostly.

The Stones version of Around and Around is excellent, and much better than Chuck's (IMO their best cover).

I don't know why people on music forums have so much trouble with how music works and what threads should be titled. This should be titled cover songs that you like better then the original. Music is subjective. That way there is no argument. I personally am tempted to argue with anyone who claims that Like a Rolling Stone was better by the Stones then it was Dylan. I think thats a silly opinion, but if thats someone's taste I guess, but if you say it outperforms it then we have an argument. The same with All Along the Watchtower..I will take Dylan's version any day over the Hendrix version. Sometimes less is more.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1966
Penned by Norman Whitfield and Barret Strongthe the song was given
to Smokey to cut as a demo/guide track for other artists to follow....
Glady's Knight recorded and released her take of it in
1967 with Marvin Gaye later recording his version in 1968...
The Smokey version is well worth checking out ...........

Would it be blasphemous to prefer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of Over the Rainbow to Judy Garland's?
