    Not sure if I would ever call a cover better than the original, but Pet Shop Boys were great at it. (I may have already posted these and just forgot about it).

    No better than the original, but certainly a wonder cover by this family band of one of my favorite songs.

    A second one... the simple staging supports the lyrics and instruments. Hope to see this family perform live one day.

    Not better, but very good.

    I liked the Hans Zimmer arrangement of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse”, from Dark Side of the Moon, and was the soundtrack for the Dune trailer.

    Another one that isn't necessarily better than but a great arrangement.

    This song always hits me due to a failed Life On Mars ABC pilot that had the protagonist traveling back in time to 1973. I worked WTC2 in 2000. Had things been different y'all wouldn't have fatty here these days.

    All scenes have been wiped away. Best I could find was this GTA edit.

    Damn... A lot of stories like that of if just certain things had worked out different. I remember hearing stories of people who worked in the WTC but either the subway was slow or they were just late getting out the door otherwise they would've been in those buildings on 911.

    I always liked the APC cover too.
