Cover songs that actually do the original justice.

Most covered songs were right the first time. Its not always about improving them just giving the song a different feel. FOB's cover isnt a masterpiece by any means but I enjoyed their creation. MJ's original wont ever be bettered and that IMHO goes for all his work.

As long as you enjoy it then that is what counts, I really don't because it reminds me of how much better the original is but I can sort that easily enough by switching off. :)

Shed Seven do an awesome cover of Cliff Richard's Wired for Sound.

Check it! http://www.last.fm/music/Shed+Seven/_/Wired+for+Sound?autostart

It is rather good, I've been listening to it quite a bit recently and I'm pretty sure it must have you who recommended it to me. For that and Elevator Suite I think I must be due you a pint if I ever meet you.

//edit and Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds is great, particularly for a cover of an Elvis song.

I think I'm the only person who ever pimps the Sheds on here so it probably was! I of course accept all free drinks, deserved or not.
