Who did it better?

Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.

Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.

“(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” is a song by Blue Oyster Cult and first released on the 1976 album “Agents of Fortune”.

It has been covered by several other acts including:

The Goo Goo Dolls on their 1987 album “Goo Goo Dolls”.

The Mutton Birds on the sound track to the movie “The Frighteners”.

LA Guns on their 2010 covers album “Covered In Guns”.

Please share so that others can discover The BFD.
