Hello,

I Fought the Law - Bobby Fuller Four/The Clash?

Twist and Shout - The Isley Brothers/The Beatles?

[Heston]

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Manfred Mann - The Mighty Quinn

In fact, lot's of Dylan.

Maybe controversial but Born To Run by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

I'm not stating for which I prefer. But do you really think FGtH when you hear BtR or Bruce. Did they really make it their own or just a good cover? Maybe if FGtH had released their cover as a single A-side it would've had more impact.

I agree with the two Dylan ones.

Another that fits this conversation here.

Blinded By the Light - Bruce Springsteen / Manfred Mann

Rave On - Sonny West / Buddy Holly

The Tide Is High - The Paragons / Blondie

Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly & The Crickets / The Rolling Stones

I heard the Frankie version first, so yes I do. I still think the Bruce version sounds like it's playing on 33 instead of 45rpm.

Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly & The Crickets / The Rolling Stones

Maybe in the UK, but in the US I’ve only heard Buddy’s (absolutely superior, sorry) version On the radio.

Always On My Mind - Willie Nelson / Elvis

Always On My Mind - Willie Nelson / Elvis

I feel like both of those are equal in my estimation, but I grew up in a house with an Elvis fan and a Willie fan.

I prefer Buddy's version all day long. But here we got the Stones so it's one of those songs where people think it's their song.

Hello,

I'd call this a draw.

Yeah. It’s definitely from that early era where they mainly did covers and probably hadn’t fully broken here, because I was a literal adult before I heard the Stones version, but the Holly version is etched into my soul.
