Ok, I have to dispute that Things I Used to Do is the most amazing blues
guitar solo on record. I would have to give that nod to his version of
Little Wing on Sky Is Crying. That solo has everything imaginable that a
guitar can do. And it all works together.
So I'd also have to put Little Wing out as a remake better than the original.
I might also put in Higher Ground by Red Hot Chili Peppers over the Stevie
Wonder version.
And a tough call on Nirvana's Unplugged performance of Man Who Stole the
World vs. the Bowie original.
I'm sure that there are more that I can't think of at the moment...
