Cover Song AppreciationThread

This thread is all about alternative versions of favourite songs. Find a cover you like and post it here and tell us why you prefer it over the original, or why the original is better. Only rule is it can't be a version by the original artist, though if you can post the original for comparison that would be OK.

To kick off Sarah Blasko covering

I like the slower pace of Sarah's version but also Chisel's classic rock balladering of the original. For me hard to split but I like both and shows that a good song well sung is a winner whoever does it.

Over to you...

The Beatles 'Every Little Thing', 1964.

Incredible cover by Yes, 1969.
