34 comments on Better than the Original? II by afizzle

I dont know if you had it but some really good covers are The Scientist by Mike Posner and Look at me now by Karmin

This is a great mix! I love the Obadiah Parker cover- has been a favorite of mine since I was an angsty 14 year old haha- it is beautiful. Also, I had never heard the Adele cover before, and that is one of my favorite Dylan songs-totally sold me! Though I gotta say- the Ellie Goulding cover? Lovely, but I don't think she even holds a candle to Temper Trap: her voice is beautiful, but she doesn't make you want to drop everything and just journey off the way the original does. TT makes you feel like you're on this wonderful journey towards adventure, with no regrets, nostalgia, or strings to hold you in place. That's just me though :) Also, I don't know that I would go so far as to say it is BETTER than the original, but Skye's cover of Feel Good Inc. by Gorrilaz is fantastic, as is 311's cover of Love Song by The Cure (that one I DO think is better than the original...again just my opinion ! ). You should check 'em out if you like covers :)

Okay, this whole thing has been pretty awesome, but the "Like" is for Jamie Cullum's High and Dry! I'm surprised he doesn't end up on more cover mixes because everything he does is brilliant. Nice work!

I don't know if it's already in one of your mixes (I just discovered it), but the Walk Off The Earth version of Somebody That I Used to Know is, I think, better than the original, especially when you know they are 5 people playing on the same guitar. You should check the youtube video if you haven't.
