We are about to step onto controversial grounds here. You often hear people say that nothing beats the original. That is true, especially in music. But, there were some rare occasions when a cover version of a song managed to replace the original as an ultimate version. We admit this didn’t happen as often; but when it did, it was spectacular. That’s why we decided to bring you 8 covers that are better than original. We won’t have to do much convincing since the songs will take care of that themselves. Enjoy.
