I've just found Meatloaf doing Black Betty on Youtube, and I thought that there are lots of covers and versions of songs. So decide on which version you like best and select two more versions of the same song to compare.
Which do you prefer?

I agree with Ram Jam. I like the Billy Porter version of the two you posted.Quote:

Pink Floyd, hands down. That was an interesting cover, though.Quote:

Sorry Papaya - I failed at my own game. I prefer the Billy Porter version. Apologies. I have altered my post.Quote:

I'd find that hard to choose - both are great.
I'm gonna have to say The Allman Brothers.
Stones or Temps:

A tough choice, but I'll go with the Temptations because the Stones didn't add enough in my opinion.Quote:

This is an excellent song! One of my favorites. I never knew that Gloria Jones sang it originally. I prefer the Soft Cell version.Quote:

Definately Leonard Cohen's. It has a raw, evocative edge. He's been living as a Zen Monk for a few years apparently, before his latest tour.Quote:

The Eric Clapton one.
I can't work out which of these three are worse:

Out of the three I'm thinking #2.
How about these two:
