Do you like the original or the remake better and why. Post original or an older version vs a newer version and tell why You like it or don’t like it.
I’ll start
The sound of silence
Simon and Garfunkel
Disturbed
Love the original but the Disturbed version sounds better edgier.

Helter Skelter - Motley Crue cover
Or
Helter Skelter - U2 cover
I can't decide... Gonna have to go with Motley Crue's version, love the whammy / trill dive Mars does on the solo

Original by Bruce
Remake by Manfred Mann
I tend to like the remake better because it's just peppier . However, the original is pretty cool too.

I'm going to commit Rock & Roll blasphemy and say I like Hearts rendition of Stairway to Heaven live at the Kennedy Center, 2012 better than Led Zeppelins.

Nirvana's remake of Bowies man who stole the world is spot on.
I believe that is the title

Yep blasphemy LOL. I will give Ann and Nancy the short version, but the live version on The Song Remains the Same is untouchable.
