Mushrooms head version of Seals Crazy was alot better.....and HIMS cover of dont fear the reaper was better

I much prefer Blink-182's version of "Another Girl Another Planet" than the original by the "Only Ones". Some of my friends disagree. I would list Blinks cover as one of my favorite songs and one of my mates lists the original as his favorite song.

For me, the Only Ones singer is just not that good.

I know I will probably get shot down for this, it may have been posted already, although likely not.

I just prefer the more rocky feel to it, I do like the PF version though just this one fires me up a bit more.

Johnny Cash's version is the cover, NiN was the original version.
saying that i prefer cash's version more.

in addition to this i also like Jonas Thomassen's cover, i think he won the equivilent of the x factor in finland or somewhere around there?

then i have to recommened Magnus Weideskog, not sure if he's signed so he might not count (i found him on youtube) he covered K$sha's tik tok

YouTube - Magnus Weideskog-Tik Tok (Veckans iTunes Cover #2)
