I love this idea. I am so glad you did it.
I have a bunch but here is one I really like and since baseball season is upon us. Who did it better?
Don Henley (original)
The Ataris (cover)
The ataris version of this track holds a permanent place on my playlists. Fantastic version.

It is one of the few instances where I would pick the cover over the original. Oddly enough I would do the same with Don Henley and Vince Gill's cover of Sacrifice by Elton John. So while I take one away from Don, I give it back to him.
Plus I have an absolutely wild video of my daughter rocking out to the Ataris version when she was 3 with her toy guitar. She grabbed sunglasses and put them on, the whole 9 yards. It was awesome

I also think Don did it better, sorry Sir Elton, but Don smashed it.

I've always really liked both these versions actually \m/
