What is the best "cover" song you know of?

It would be great if you could post a video. My favorite is Cheap Trick doing an old Elvis standard "Don't be Cruel", although Pat Boone's heavy metal covers crack me up.

Tip for best answer: M$3.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Ruth Copeland's cover of Gimme Shelter is total genius. Not only is her voice gorgeous and powerful, but she has Eddie Hazel accompanying her on guitar. Totally epic and underrated.

I like Harry Nilsson's - Without You.

This was a cover of the original track written by Badfinger.

Play the two and contrast them, you'll see there is little comparison!

I love the way Nilsson arranged a whole orchestra around his version.

I would say either Hurt by Johnny Cash, cover of a Nine Inch Nails song. It was very heartfelt and worked well for the time that it came out. If not Hurt, I would say Pantera's cover of Planet Caravan.

Allison Crowe's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is rather amazing.

Hands down, my favorite is Melissa Etheridge covering Tom Petty's "Refugee". It's like he wrote the song for her voice. :D
