BloodstainsAcrossMantovani great pick. I’d say their take on “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” also trumps any other version.
COVERS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
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 :
Devil Dogs version of Palisades Park is better than any version, including Ramones...
Also
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.
Not better than Larry Wallis' original version of Police Car. Really good cover though and they manage to make the song their own.
Alvin's vocal performance is great on this
1800benparrish I really love these slowed back down:
Señor Scratchy agreed.
Here's another sick cover. [
Caterina Caselli - Sono bugiarda (The Monkees cover)
The Kids original is good, but the Teengenerate cover is something else:
ratcharge perfection!
big weakness for this entire comp series but gotta say for me it's drew over phil when I wanna hear this song
