You know, songs done originally by one person or band then covered by another. And who did 'em best.

Here's one:

Personally, for me this is an equal split. I like QR's version as much as Slade's

I like Aerosmith's version better.

Dylan came out with this song in '67, Hendrix did it again in '68.
Dylan liked Hendrix's version so much he started doing it Hendrix's way in all his concerts later.

I'm with Dylan: Hendrix's version is a helluva lot better.
