R&P: Can you give me some songs that you think would be better if done by another band?

I don't mean covers either. I mean, think of a song, any song, and then try to think if it would be better if someone else had done it. Kind of think of it like they did with MoTown. Smokey Robinson wrote A TON of songs, and he even recorded them, but The Temptations did quite a few of them too, recorded them, and had way more success. If you want an example, Smokey did My Girl, but I don't think anyone owns that recording.

Anyways, after rambling, I was listening to Changes by David Bowie, and all I could think is that Bob Dylan would have done that song so much better. It would have been slowed down obviously, but it fits his style perfectly and I think he could have made that a better song.

Any come to mind?

MQ: Favorite Temptations song? (links are great, I love them and it's easier to just click = P)

BQ: Ipod, Zune, or other?

    Interesting question. The first song that comes to mind would be Found That Soul by Manic Street Preachers. Even though I think it's a fantastic song I think that it would've been even better if it had been recorded by the Stooges in their prime.
