Cover versions that Ilike better than the originals... .Blasphemy?
Sorry for the video dump, to be honest I had to stop early...
Hope you give them a wee listen, even if you don't know the original they are solid tunes!
Started off with
Foo Fighters Glastonbury set, prompting me to listen to this:

(Original by Gerry Rafferty ofc)
Then found this again from a wee "old favourite" band,
GUN, from my home city:

(Original by Hot Chocolate ofc!)
These guys were also mildly well-known for their cover of "Word Up" in the mid 90s
and something from the 80s! Firstly
Adrenaline Mob covering Duran Duran, a very solid cover.

... an Excellent one by
Iron Savior covering Underworld (yes, the same band who would eventually do that "Born Slippy" song from Trainspotting, they started off as 80s poptronica)

and lastly
Blind Guardian fucking smashing it, covering one of Australia's finest exports - John Farnham
