              A much-dissed cover, but I really liked it when it first came out. I had no idea it was a cover of the Rev. Al Green's awesomeness at the time...

                    Talking Heads GREAT cover, GREAT original, very different. Well done.

                    Speaking of Metallica, "Whiskey in the Jar" is a terrific cover.

                    The Sex Pistols' cover of "My Way" has always been a favorite of mine as well.



                    In the Bob Dylan subcategory, The Rolling Stones do a terrific rendition of (natch) "Like a Rolling Stone".

                          PS I don't think anyone could "improve on" Pink Floyd, but Dream Theater's DVD cover of Dark Side of the Moon was a stellar tribute at least with some improv...

                              The Jam - Batman Theme




                              The Who had a much better version. Not surprising that The Jam also decided to cover the Batman theme, considering that Paul Weller had no ideas beyond those he ripped off from Pete Townshend...

                                Aretha Franklin - "Respect"
                                CCR - "I Heard it Through the Grapevine"
                                Joe Cocker - "With a Little Help From My Friends"
                                Sublime - "Doin' Time" ("Summertime")
                                Townes Van Zandt - "Dead Flowers"
                                Madeleine Peyroux - "Careless Love"
                                Janis Joplin - "Maybe"
                                Johnny Cash - "Cocaine Blues"
                                Tool - "No Quarter"
                                Invincible - "Spacious Skies" ("America the Beautiful")

                                Not that each of these covers is necessarily better than the original.
