101 Cover Songs Better Than the Originals

There are some songs that you don't truly appreciate until another artist takes it on and makes it their own. Oftentimes the newer version draws out the original's complexities in a way you never would have noticed before. Or maybe the first version is equally compelling, yet the cover artist reimagined it with such grandeur that many don't even realize that it's a new take on an old song. Whether converting dance bangers to melancholic ballads or pop hits to garage-rock anthems, sometimes a complete 180 is exactly what a track was missing.
Tracks were from 3 main list's and site address added for ease of checking the song's. Addional tracks have been added to bring the total to 101 Given the volume of cover versions available it may necesitate a further list or two, lets wait and see?.
