When it comes to covers, the baseline "better than the original" is Hurt so that is logically off the table. Nothing but Flowers is an interesting one for me - I had heard the Guster version first before going on a deep dive into the Talking Heads. And while I appreciate everything The Talking Heads do, I feel like there is just more life in the Guster version.
