You just answered your own question –*first recorded by the Move, then covered by ELO.

Heavy cover of Eleanor Rigby.

Have you heard the cover of "Eleanor Rigby" by Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister?

Pretty good stuff.

I'm not going to say "better" because I don't believe any cover band can do it better than an original, but I urge anyone out there that's into Pink Floyd to go see The Australian Pink Floyd band. KILLER!

Good call!

Don't think anyone mentioned these songs from the same artist that Steppenwolf covered:

- Born to be Wild
- Faster than the Speed of Life

Has anyone mentioned Alan Jackson’s version of “Pop a Top”? Far better than Jim Ed Brown’s

Australian Pink Floyd They do an unbelievable job of just about all Pink Floyd songs. They are so good David Gilmore had them play at his 50th birthday party.

This thread makes it seem like every heavy metal cover is better than the original. Hetfield a better singer than Seger in his prime?
