Judge a Song by its cover

    Willie's version of "Always On My Mind" is high on the list. Paul Young's "Everytime You Go away" is so much better than the Hall and Oates version (and I put them in my guilty pleasure category).

    I will judge this song (from the Winnie Pooh soundtrack) by its cover:

    I have never heard it, but I judge it adorable.

    Not close to as good as the original, but I can see why some people would prefer this. Eilish isn't appealing to everyone.

    I don't get the appeal at all. Her new Bond song is a cure for insomnia.

    I do like the original Bad Guy. Unlike Lizzo, she doesn't have another song that even approaches her best song.

    Nirvana's cover of "Man Who Sold the World" is way better than Bowie's.
    I like Oasis's version of "Helter Skelter" better than the Beatles.
    "Higher Ground" by RHCP is better to me than Stevie Wonder's original.

    Ocean Eyes and You Should See Me in A Crown are both really good. When the Party's Over is pretty good, too. Hostage is arguably better than Bad Guy. That's off the top of my head.

    The Bond song is easily her worst song.

    Somewhere, Noel Gallagher is googling "Oasis better than the Beatles" and yelling, "See! I knew I wasn't the only one!"

    None -- NONE -- have caught on with people the way Lizzo's Truth Hurts and Good as Hell have. And those came after Juice. (Kind of, Good as Hell came before but was rereleased last year and caught on big.) And then you have Cuz I Love You.

    It's like LeBron's Cavs vs. Steph's/Durant's/Klay's/Draymond's Warriors.

    Wasn't saying she's as good as Lizzo. I love Lizzo. Just saying she has songs as good or better than Bad Guy.
