That person up there said The Rolling Stones covered satisfaction and Otis did it first. No idiot. Learn your music history. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote Satisfaction.It’s a Rolling Stones song, Otis Redding covered it.

Three oldies:

Vanilla Fudge: Keep Me Hangin’ On
Frigid Pink: House of the Rising Sun
Grand Funk: Gimme Shelter

Good covers expose the staying power of a well written song and it’s composer.

I like Goldfinger’s cover of “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” better than Joe Jackson’s original. It’s much more syncopated and sounds more put-together.

I think that one of my favorite covers that I like better than the original would be “Dancing Days” covered by Stone Temple Pilots, originally done by Zeppelin.

The Stones’ version of “Satisfaction” is a cover — Otis Redding wrote it and performed it first.

The best cover version is The Residents, IMHO…
