What song cover do you think is miles better than the original?

for me, it has to be jimi hendrix's version of all along the watchtower. i know the original by bob dylan is a classic, but hendrix just took that song to another planet. the way he handled the guitar work makes the whole track feel so much more intense and complete. whenever i hear it, i just have to stop what i'm doing and listen until the very end.

another one that always gets me is johnny cash covering hurt. honestly, the nine inch nails version is fine, but the raw emotion in cash's voice is just on a different level. it feels so haunting and personal, especially knowing where he was in his life when he recorded it. it’s one of those rare covers that actually makes the song feel like it belonged to the artist who covered it all along.
