Who did it better?
The Guess Who (original)

Lenny Kravitz (cover)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzWHE32IxUc
Kravitz by a (wait for it)... Country mile. 😁 He really does this song well.
I go original here
The Guess Who were a great band but I think I like Lenny’s better.
Bold take. I like it.
Kravitz's cover took full ownership of that song.
It’s a great cover.
I love the story telling in this song. Reminds me of when I lived in Chicago in the 90s.
See what you think of this version 😉 https://youtu.be/BGM3I33W70c?si=nAm5gV3eGjENU8ne
No no no
Don't like the metal core additions? It's definitely controversial.
Something about changing genres here I wasn't feeling
Wait is coolio not the original?
How Deep is Your Love - Bee GeesHow Deep is Your Love - Bee Gees
How Deep is Your Love - Take ThatHow Deep is Your Love - Take That

I definitely prefer the original Bee Gees version, but Take That did pretty good too! It's not an easy song for some vocal ranges.
I thought this was about to be a club song for a second
Not quite! Although many people I've talked to remember them for their disco songs, they did a variety of styles over the years.
Take that did a great job on this. I hadn't heard their version before. But really really great job.
AIC

Aaron Lewis

Damn Bellzer
...
You got me stumped. I love Aaron Lewis's vocals. But AIC aswell... This is too close to call.
I say AIC but Aaron does Layne proud
I'm inclined to agree with you but I am also a sucker for a decent stripped back acoustic version of something.
I thought this was going to be a blowout for Alice in Chains and I still think they win but very good cover.
Of the boygeniuses, Lucy Daucus is the one who's clearly the big classic rock fan, and I enjoy her take on The Boss.

Thats a cool cover
She does a great job of this track for sure. But the boss is the boss. I gotta say, if I was the boss and I heard this wonderful woman pay tribute to me like that. I'd be very honoured.
I dont remember if we've had this one before... If we have, I got plenty more to play around with 😉
Chris Isaac - Wicked Game.

Stone Sour - wicked game.
https://youtu.be/N0kDuZ2mcyg?si=XnCUSgIO15DAdbJ9
We've definitely touched on these, but who cares they're solid tracks
Alrighty then, let's see if we've had this ;)
Micheal Sembello - Maniac
https://youtu.be/6GCNUeTFSbA?si=HjrrOqk0eEG7izkm
But this time with power metal 😉
Avantasia - Manic (2019)
https://youtu.be/rxCtD4Dc-yY?si=h5eS8JwwRKykgKpL
Or Firewind - Maniac (2008) (live)
https://youtu.be/uKeXz46j2OQ?si=fMu9-A9Zk8f7eCS0
Or just because some things sound really fun with double bass blast beats here's MyGrain - Maniac (2024)
I love this song and pretty much all versions of it. It just gets you so pumped.
She is killing it 🔥🔥 her vocals kinda remind me a bit of Lzzy Hale.
This is great, although I'm partial to Tenacious D's take on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLWkl5YpiD0&t=1s
Tenacious D did a fantastic version, I always felt however the emotion Corey Taylor manages to get over in the song is just gut wrenching.
Heard this for the 1st time on UFC300 just now, a week after posting 2 other versions of this https://youtu.be/azeh1ZbxWwI?si=iBl0FbCyCypUGBLM
