I could seriously listen to Dion's cover of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue on repeat for hours.
It's Don't Pass Me By by The Georgia Satellites. I've changed the link so hopefully it works now.Originally Posted by Girlystevedave

Good ones:
By The Who: Fire, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
By Duran Duran: Thank You (detested by many, but loved by me), Ball Of Confusion, Crystal Ship
By Guns N' Roses: Sympathy For The Devil, Jumpin' Jack Flash (I swear I heard a demo of this and it was amazing)
Metallica: Turn The Page
Foo Fighters: Baker Street
James Taylor: Woodstock (basically just performed on the Howard Stern show (I think) and was damn great)
W.A.S.P.: The Real Me (I'm not much of a W.A.S.P. fan, but they nailed this)
Tool: No Quarter (phenomenal)
The Neighborhoods: Southern Girls
Bad:
I suppose there are many many more covers I find bad than what I list here, but I think I block them or something - anyway, I am able to offer these clunkers:
Elton John: Pinball Wizard (with this and the above Who covers, I suppose it depends on who you prefer, and I'm not much of an Elton guy, talented though he is)
Guns N' Roses: Knockin' On Heaven's Door (mainly because I detest this song completely (can't stand the original or any of the covers); I can feel my life slipping away when I hear the opening notes, or any notes, really. I suppose GNR's version is the best one I've heard, which technically means they did a good job in some sense, but then they do so much to prolong the agony that I can't praise them (and I had to sit through this in concert more than once; holy crap was that awful))
Most of Duran Duran's Thank You album: 911 Is A Joke was particularly horrific, but there are others (and I really like Duran Duran).
It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth
I can see across the whole of London and beyond
Oh I missed the W.A.S.P. cover... thanks.
Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls (Joy Division cover)
So I just found out that this exists, sorry if it has been posted already...
Dolly Parton - Stairway to Heaven
And an excellent live version as well
Dolly Parton - Stairway to Heaven Live
No Tommy...this thread is called BEST cover songs...not BREAST cover songs.
I'm assuming not many people are familiar with Ringworm. They're one of my favourite bands and they just happen to do a kick-ass cover of Iron Fist, originally by Motorhead. Listen to it here: http://creator-destructor.bandcamp.com/album/split-7
They're also featured briefly in Secret Lives of Pets in a scene with the poodle.
One of the worst covers is Deftones covering Milk by S.O.D. Unfortunately, it's impossible to unlisten songs.
Yes... familiar with Ringworm... but then we have similar tastes.

Last season of Voice.Kids (Russia), the girl who took the second place in the final
here are excerpts of her performance and the original performer - the great Mireille Mathieu - saying how much she loves it (sorry, her speech comes with a Russian voiceover)
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

Wow, it's good!!
(doesn't beat the original, of course... not for bears)

I just love Sublime...I don't know why.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
A good cover of Mastodon's Oblivion. It is acoustic...so no need to clean the mosh pit.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Ths is pretty bad. I am a fan o Yngwie J. Malmsteen but... To cover the king of pop??

Nice, Brian.
And that cover is so far on the other end of the spectrum from the original. Thanks for sharing.
Panic at the Disco's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is kinda cool, I gotta say.
