    Best Coast doing the song Rhiannon

    It’s close, because I LOVE the original but Porter Robinson’s cover of the Fontaines DC song Favorite is amazing and everyone in my family likes it so much. The interview where he talks about the song also great.

    Probably more if I think about it, but those 2 came to mind as really good covers that do something different from the original songs.

    ETA - just about anything by Bob Dylan or the Grateful Dead sounds better to me when another band does them, Dylan in particular writes amazing songs but I don’t like his delivery of them and the Dead, that sound annoys me so much I cannot.
