For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

This one is okay but the original, sung by Sonny Geraci for The Outsiders, is perfection.

This cover by Elvis of the S&G classic Bridge Over Troubled Water was so perfectly and beautifully done, it still blows me away. Elvis covered a lot of songs, and made them all special because his voice was unlike any other. It was truly a special gift.

"Wagon Wheel" originally and spectacularly done by Old Crow Medicine Show. Covered by Darius Rucker and became one of his greatest hits. I believe he got a Grammy for it.

This will probably be controversial. But this is my opinion. Even tho Bob Dylan was a very good songwriter, I didn't really like his performance of those songs. It was always lacking something, regardless of how good they were. It seemed to me that his songs were just demo versions in need of further refining. Just about anyone who had their own version of his song(s) did a better job with it. I still like him tho.
