Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Cover versions that are better than the original ?

Blancmange's version of The Day before You Came is worthy of considerable merit.

And I've always been strangely impressed with the Hue and Cry valiant cover of The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Hee hee... Flying Lizards - Money, what a quirky, fun song.

Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone - In Every Dream Home A Heartache:

There's a real dark edge to this cover.

I prefer Dessau's "Isolation" over the original :p

Bowie's cover is better than OMD's but for me neither beat the original.

Nine Inch Nails version of Physical.

Gary Moore's version of Friday On My Mind was quite good.

Heaven 17 doing "are everything" by the Buzzcocks. Great cover...
John Foxx doing "Shadow of your Smile"....
Original Human League "You've Lost that Loving Feeling"
Original Human League "Rock n Roll"

The Reels - Bad Moon Rising, ace cover imho.

...and their covers of Jeff Wayne's Gordon's Gin and Mick Ronson's Only After Dark . Travelogue is overall a classic, I prefer it to Reproduction.
