I dig the covers of "It Ain't Me Babe" done by both Johnny Cash and New Found Glory. (orginally by Bob Dylan)
edit: Oh, and I'm not normally big into Punk, but there is a CD called "Pop goes Punk" that has a bunch of well... pop songs covered by punk bands. It's a fun listen.

I don't care for most country music, but Brooks and Dunn's cover of "My Maria"(BW Stevenson), is awesome.
Paul Rodgers' ( Free, Bad Company, the Firm) acoustic version of "Feel Like Makin' Love" is great.

311 - Love Song New Found Glory - Iris & Tennessee I'll come back with more. These are just my current (although the songs aren't current) cover faves right now.

Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson is much better than the original.
That's what she said.

I love how many times Gloria has been covered. Doors and Tom Petty are standouts.
I have a ZZTop cover of Mustang Sally that's magical RUSH doing The Seeker was good too!

Come together - Beatles = OK; Aerosmith = awesome
American Pie - Don McLean = best song ever; Madonna = she should be shot for trying, and hanged for failing.

Behind Blue Eyes by Staind and Fred Durst was better than the original too.

You have to check out the War Machine remake by Six Feet Under. It starts out OK but when he sings I can't help but laugh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn36xjgKRhg

best cover ever done, and it's a 2 parter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0a828a5AB8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEcssTnCU6I Worst cover ever done? Tori Amos - Raining Blood 
10-02-2008, 09:03 AM
Astronomy(originally Blue Oyster Cult) by metallica, Effin' killer.
Keep On Loving You(Original REO Speedwagon) by the Donnas, great tempo Come Together (beatles) by soundgarden Livin' After Midnight(judas priest) by the donnas.
10-02-2008, 10:20 AM
Ready to throw me under the bus?....
I can't stand metallica. All of their covers turn the original song to complete S..... and I'm not just trying to pick a fight. They're garbage. Each one of their albums has gradually gotten more and more produced and puss.

i've never heard of these guys before. found them on youtube. i guess all they play is bluegrass covers of hit songs. i heard their version of "roses" (outkast) and thought it was good in a goofy way. then i watched this and really liked it.

A Couple great covers: No More Mr. Nice Guy- Megadeth Anarchy In The U.K.-Megadeth a couple shitty ones: Smokin' In the Boys Room- Motley Crue Behind Blue Eyes-Limp Bizkit both of those skip entire verses of the song.

Joe Cocker has done some excellent covers including "A Little Help From My Friends".
Aerosmith's "Come Together" was excellent. Hendrix did "All Along The Watchtower" better than Dylan SRV did an equally as good "Superstition".
Go fuck yourself. Hard.
10-07-2008, 03:40 PM
bad
behind blue eyes done - limp bizkit any cover of stairway to heaven the first cut is the deepest - sheryl crow american pie - Madonna take another piece of my heart - faith hill (worst cover of anything ever) good come together - aerosmith move it on over - George thorogood devil went down to georgia - primus knocking on heavens door - G&R all along the watchtower - Hendrix Blinded by the light - manfred man's earth band (because i hate the bruce version) maria - brooks and dunn I don't know if this is a cover but i saw someone mention me first and the gimmie gimmies, and i love the song "i sing the body electric from them"
