Eleanor Rigby vs. Eleanor Rigby

-Which of these do you like better? Why? Be specific.
-Which of these is more pleasing to listen to? Why? Be specific.

I like the original much better because its tone is much more fitting and not nearly as overwhelming. The cover was very loud and sounds like people shouting with little variation to the guitar and tune. I also grew up hearing the one by the Beatles, and I enjoyed the strings in the background.
I thought that the second one was more aesthetically pleasing because it was more soothing and used strings instead of electric guitar throughout the whole song. It was much more calming, and the Beatles were also the creators of the song, therefore more the "master of their craft."
