I Love Covers: Let's Spend the Night Together

In 1967, The Rolling Stones released the single "Let's Spend the Night Together".
In 1973, David Bowie released a better version of the same song. Seriously, way better.
Oh, and just for shits and giggles, Lukas Rossi, who won the show "Rockstar: Supernova" and is now competing on the hit show, "The Voice", covered the song as well. This version is definitely more hard rock.

The reason I love good covers boils down to this: they let the artist take the song, and make it their own. And when they make it their own for better, well then you've got an epic song.
