Petty seemed to think Vedder owned his song.
āI really do feel close to this song, but Iāll tell ya, youāve never heard it until you hear Eddie Vedder sing it.ā -Tom Petty
Bruce stepped on the message by recording Born in the USA in a major key. This is more powerful.

not sure if this is better, but i like it
and I keep coming back to this one - not because its better but because its different
I like the music to his Stand By Me cover, but I can handle his voice.
Another Petty coverā¦ really starting to appreciate her talent.
Same, recently. Probably with her bluegrass cover of Jolene, which isnāt exactly recent but deserves a spot in this thread if not exactly better than the original.

Like most yanks I just discovered this guy over the weekend. His KISS cover brings a different vibe so not really a fair comparison, but it is excellent. Boyās got some serious chops.
In the spirit of acoustic ācoverā versions of their own songs, I just discovered a handful of Cure acoustic videos. Perfect for this thread, or maybe the Gen X thread.
