Unpopular opinion time: I like Ugly Kid Joe’s version of “The Cat’s in the Cradle” better than the Harry Chapin original.

This one is my favorite.

A band from Texas called The Clique, in 1969.

Listened to them al… not one is as good as the original, and some were atrocious. “Your Gold teeth II” is one of my favourites, but no one can beat the Dan with Jeff Porcaro on drums for that one.

Joe Jackson’s version was the best of the covers, with Waylon a close second.

VERY disappointed with the cover of Dr. WU and Wilco’s “Any Major Dude” .

Of course their classic cover is…

This is one of the more interesting covers of Hound Dog

He also covered ZZ Top’s “TV Dinner” on the same album. Fantastic

Wow! I wondered for a second if the singer was actually Gotye, sounds a lot like him.

Read the comments,they say all this was lip sync.

The entire Classic Blue album. Justin Hayward singing covers far better than the originals.

It’s not. They do live performances too.

Larry Coryell version of the Wes Montgomery Bumpin’ on Sunset gives the original a good run for the money.

Here’s the original

And here’s Larry’s version…
