Which song version do you prefer?

It's not really a comparison. Dolly Parton all the way.

The first one...didn't much care for the knee slapping version

Try to overlook the sound quality of the second link on mine:

Original:

And the live cover:

I apologize if I've posted these two here before...I just love both of these bands so much...and this song is just awesome after so many years. I can't describe how happy it makes me to hear Kings of Leon doing a Pixies cover...

Mad World. Both versions were good and i would usually say that the cover version will never be better than the original and I still hold that but if there is a cover version that come close to the original, it would be this.

Original Version by Tears for Fears

Cover Version by Gary Jules

I quite like Gary Jules' version.

Tough choice! I like them both, but I'll have to go with Lean Russell and JJ Cale's version.

What about these two?

Even though Cocker's version is very good as well, Jay Hawkins' version steals the show, I think.

The Marcus Collins version is excellent.

The original Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Eric Clapton/JJ Cale version is good but it seems more polished.

I'll take Bob Marley's version.

How 'bout these two:

and

I like the first one better. I like how older ones sound, usually.

First let me say you offered some nice selections.
As for preference, I'm finding it difficult to decide. I too, typically I go with the "original" or older variant, but in this case I had to flip a coin; best 2 out of 3 with Ole Blue Eyes as Heads.

Maroon 5 gets my vote.

As much as I love the blues sounds of Bobby, I have to give it to Whitesnake. I just prefer their cover over the original. It's weird, I know. xD
