Cover Songs That Stand on Their Own
They don't have to outsell or be more popular or more artistic than the original, though they may. And please tell us if they did.
But ANY cover song that you think works on its own without being just a pedestrian and uninspired copy of the original song.
The original was by The Doors.
"Light my Fire."
Great. Classic.
But, "Light my Fire" by Jose Feliciano?
Less popular but it absolutely stands on it's own as a beautiful interpretation of the song.
Nothing like The Doors' version but great on different terms.
