These next 2 are questionable, because I love the Police and Message has been covered so many times, but it's always great to hear different versions from bands I like..

I decided that Message actually can't be covered better than the original, but it's still a good version.

Hendrix version of "All along the watch tower"

Manfred Mann version of "Blinded by the light"

Gary Jules version of "Mad World"

Electric blankets are much better than the original animal fur at keeping you warm.

If you haven't heard Dweezil Zappa's version of the Britney Spears song, you're in for a treat.

Wow.

A video advocating for socialism.

Who would have thought??

I'm expanding this to more than jsut covers that are 'better'.

Dave covers Solsbury Hill pretty well. I've seen him do it live before, not this video, but if anyone can nail it it's him. And Carter murders that chorus too.

I'm not posting for the videos my man.

The song itself has nothing to do with socialism. It's about corruption of power and the unrest that comes about from it.

Not better than the original but still powerful.

Pretty much anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

A hard choice, I think. But I think Pearl Jam does it better

Yeah I forgot about PJ's Reign. I think that one was better too.
