In general I agree with that statement. I have heard very, very few songs I like more than the original but one of them I might have to say is the cover of Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit. To those of you who haven't heard it you're probably saying "What?! A rapper covered a classic rock song?" Well before I heard it I thought the same thing. It's actually done really well and I dare say I kinda like the tempo and flow better than the original. The only thing really off is instead of the rock-anthem theme near the end, Limp Bizkit throws in their own twist which, although out of context, still fits nicely.

I love this version .................The original by The Paragons is a good Rocksteady track but, Debbie and her chums added a drive and modern feel that took an uncut diamond and made it a gem.

I like the Dixie chicks version way more than Fleetwood Mac's original

has anyone heard of a band called LOVE AND LOGIC? they've done a few covers and awesome videos that are on youtube..... they have original music which is spectacular too! But two covers-- one lady gaga bad romance and two adam lambert whataywant from me, check them out on youtube, the video alone is amazing but their renditions are great too

I'll share this as a believe it is an excellent cover version , I'm non too sure about the original as I believe this carries the label of traditional.................IT has also been covered by Mike Oldfield, Kate Bush ad THe Cheiftens but non captures the feel as much as this version.

Punk Goes Classic Rock. Not necessarily better, in every case, but still a lot of fun.
Oh, and "Still Fly" by Devil Wears Prada. Much better than the original, even if DWP sucks.
