>>I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but...it made me consider the cover versions of songs that totally redefined the originals; almost eclipsing them. I think Cocker's arrangement of the Beatles tune certainly did that. As well as Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower. Maybe CSNY's Woodstock fits this category, too. I've been trying to think of more...any other thoughts out there?<<
Off the top of my head I would say Patti Smith's version of 'Because the Night' and Eric Clapton's version of 'Cocaine'. mike in bcn
