COVERS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

On the "Eight Miles High" front: Index. I sent this to a co-worker who is into all those 2000s emo bands with names like Ashes of My Broken Summer or fucking whatever, and I pitched it to her as "60s emo." She said that my description made sense and that she enjoyed the track

BloodstainsAcrossMantovani great pick. I’d say their take on “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” also trumps any other version.

The Turtles are great at covering others’ songs - It Ain’t Me Babe and Eve of Destruction to name two

Quite possibly the best cover ever :

Red Menace · 31 Jan

Devil Dogs version of Palisades Park is better than any version, including Ramones...

Red Menace Devil Dogs version of Palisades Park is better than any version, including Ramones...

They also have the best version of Be True To Your School.

The World needs more covers. The Milkshakes LP "20 Rock and Roll Hits" is outta control good. They really make those 50s tunes hit the modern ear in the same way they must have hit when they came out.

Rocket From The Crypt's dedication to covers open a lot of doors for me early on. Their cover of The Real Kids tune "Who Needs You" is a true standout.

I didn't know the original song when I first heard this one by Cat Funeral. But soon discovered that it's much better than Metronomy's version. Not released on physical format as far as I know.
