Let's see if this game takes off.

 

The idea is simple: I post a pair of songs -it's original version (or earliest known version) and a cover of it - and the next poster will say which one he or she likes better to then post another pair of original + cover and so on.

 

So, to start things up:

 

Original

 

 

Cover

 

 

Edit: I replaced the song because fuck youtube and the labels blocking every Beatles video....

Original but I was pleasantly surprised by the cover (and John Mayer's guitar solo!!  )

And it also gives me an idea

Oh, interesting topic!

 

The Clash's version (cover) is better!

^ Oooh, I wanted to post that one  

I'll go with the cover. VERY marginally!

Probably because it's the version I knew first

 

Original (or actually earliest known version)

Awesome cover. I still prefer the original by the Doors (which is even more awesome), but I didn't know this cover and it's a really good job!

Well done @SuperG.Girl great one!

Of course you must be talking about Luis Miguel's  

Because Volveat's cover is SO amazing

 

In any case...

 

Oh, and your Original-Cover pair was already posted  

So old & crazy

I'm taking back the shootings for this  

 

For a reason I'll think of later because now I'm busy

I'm sure this will remain without a reason  

It doesn't allow more machine guns
