Covers

The Bill Haley version of "Shake, rattle, and roll" lacks the passion and soul that you hear in the Big Joe Turner original. Most people can agree that cover songs are never as good as the original because they lack the same feeling that an original has. There are exceptions, like when an artist does something different with the song-like the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower". Unless an artist reworks a song to make it their own, cover songs generally come across as ameatur versions.
