Copy Cat
For as long as there have been good songs, there have been good bands that are ready and willing to cover these already recorded good songs. Below you will find a collection of nifty originals and their covers from nifty bands and their copy cats. Listen to both, see which one you like the most, and then tell me! 'Cause I really want to know! Let's have a discussion about this! Eh?
Pioneers
Bloc Party (original) version
Tunng version
Tunng completely mellows out Bloc Party's upbeat Pioneers.
Maps
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (original) version
The Arcade Fire version
If the original version of Maps died and was resurrected back to life in a spooky graveyard= The Arcade Fire version.
All is Full of Love
Bjork (original) version
Death Cab for Cutie version
Death Cab's version is a lot less creepy, but without the random chimes and electronic spoofs that make Bjork's original so endearing.
Creep
Radiohead (original) version
Damien Rice version
The Cure (live) version
The Cure somehow manages to make Creep sound more mature and oldies-like than the original version while Damien Rice (no surprise) transforms the song into a folk gem.
The end!

Oh, I assure you. It's The Cure. After receiving your comments, I thoroughly looked into the matter, and although, I do agree that the song sounds different from The Cure's other songs, especially vocally, I assure you that The Cure's version of Creep is correctly displayed on this entry. Thanks for your input, though.
