Apologies if this topic has already been done. I didn't realise several of these were cover versions until recently. I'm sure there are more I haven't listed here.
Pet Shop Boys - Go West Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah The Flying Pickets - Only You I'll chuck I Love Rock n' Roll into the ring. First released by The Arrows in 1975, but arguably made famous by Joan Jett in the early 80's. |

I said "better known", not necessarily superior to the original version, which of course is purely a matter of opinion. |

Agree with many of them, but no way is Bananarama's version of "Venus" superior to the original by Shocking Blue.

Take That " How deep is your love "
Never in a million years is that better known than the Bee Gees version. |

No way is that better known than the Bee Gees version. I haven't heard Steps version since it was in the chart. As soon as it went out the chart all the radio stations went back to playing the Bee Gees version. Steps my backside. |
