Good one.
Good one.
I wasn't familiar with the original version of the song, but sought it out after hearing Pearl Jam's rendition of it. I remember thinking "Why does this song sound so upbeat and happy when the subject matter is so sad?"
Okay, one more. I love how hauntingly beautiful Nirvana's version is.
Cover or not, it's one of my favorite songs ever.
Originally by The Vaselines.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Yeah well it's Nirvana. They (he) did many things better than most.

House of the Rising Sun cover. One of my favorite things ever.

"Gold dust woman" by Hole. The worst cover ever.
Best cover, probably "dancing days" by Stone Temple Pilots, or maybe "ripple" by Janes addiction. I do enjoy "amazing grace" by the throwing muses as well.
I'm stuck in the 90s apparently.
You've got Bon Iver doing "Skinny Love":
But, then you've got The Gaslight Anthem's cover of the song which completely trumps the original:
I swear, Brian Fallon's voice is the salt shaker that adds flavor to any song.
A couple i like are:
Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica
Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughn. This one will bring a tear to the eye everey time....
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
Methinks Bruce was a bit drunk.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
One of my favorite covers, I love the original, but this one just does it for me.
Ghost of Tom Joad-Rage Against The Machine
Another one that I love is D7-Nirvana, originally by The Wipers
Nice Cover... really does justice to the original!

Jon, I was literally coming into this thread to bitch about how awful that song is.
I really can't stand it. Sorry.
Best cover - Ministry - lay lady lay(bob dylan)
Worst - Well there is just too many to mention, but yeah madonnas american pie was fuckin disgraceful and that elvis song rubberneckin, its not really a cover more of a remix but it makes me feel sick when i hear it.

Apparently every Beatles/Lennon cover Elliot Smith did is excellent.

Rocky Mountain Way - Godsmack

Come Together - Godsmack

Some trippy shit man...
John Denver with Taffy Nivert - Okie from Muskogee
I love this Beatles song but this cover is arguably better.
