Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt
If covers are allowed… I will always love you by Whitney Houston was so good people outside the US forgot/didn’t knew it was a cover.
heres a controversial opinion: The American Office vs the UK Office.
While I respect the original, Gervais’ external antics and the much meaner, darker humor just don’t create as good a comedy vehicle that enables the viewer to laugh and have fun and enjoy themselves watching the show
On that note, wasn’t Whose Line is it Anyway originally British? Because Drew Carey’s was peak!
Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower
In 1995, Dylan described his reaction to hearing Hendrix’s version: “It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn’t think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day.”
Controversial, but Lord of the Rings. Tolkien wrote great stories, but his writing style always seemed kind of lackluster.
I encourage you not to view him as an author but as an imaginative creator confined by language.
Also a racist
Fight Club. Even the author preferred some of the changes made for the movie.
