I know what you mean Simon but I think the writer of a song tends to perform it as it was meant to be. Take David Bowies version of "Across The Universe" which is very good but pales against the original Beatles version with Lennon on vocals.
Speaking of Lennon - I think I'll add "Fame" to my list which he co-wrote & provided backing vocals & guitar.

Sadly, for me, this is where he went downhill at a rate of knots - I bought "Lets Dance" and thought it was crap and then bought "Tonight" and it was worse.
I still regularly play his best (and the best regularly changes).

Quite scarily, they are my favourites too!
