Patsy Cline singing anything works for me.
Ghost Riders in the Sky by the Outlaws and Pinball Wizard by Elton John.
“All Along the Watchtowers” by Hendrix. Best cover ever.

But did Willie ever really sing it first. I was under the impression that he just wrote it for her.
Hurt by Johhny Cash, rapes NIN IMO
Shadowplay covered by Killers, As good as JD, but in a different way
Anyone here hate the cover of shadowplay by the killers, I quite like it…

I am a huge NIN fan but Johnny’s cover is soulful and grabs your attention.
“Waiting on a Friend” by Pearl Jam. Original by the Stones.
Surprisingly I like Poison’s cover of “Sexy Back” original by Justin Timberlake
“Jersey Girl” by Bruce Springsteen. A Tom Waits original.
Agree with “All Along the Watchtower” by Jimi as the best cover. Dylan wouldn’t touch it after Jimi.
“Cars” by Fear Factory. Originally by Gary Neuman.
“Sympathy For the Devil” by Guns N Roses. A Stones original.
“Holy Diver” by Killswitch Engage. A Ronnie James Dio original.
“Sweet Leaf” by Godsmack. Originally by Black Sabbath.
Many Elvis songs. Most of his early work was the Blues reinterpreted.
Some…different ones.

This is just a quick tidbit of the best PJ cover I’ve ever seen live:
PJ does a lot of great covers, but this one is the cat’s ass!

Red House, Voodoo Chile, Frank was a 70’s guitar icon who still tours today. He is described as Hendrix/SRV on steroids.
All Along The Watchtower
On another note Eva Cassidy-What a Wonderful World

I really don’t know how you can say that. He does an amazing job of the song, and his entire career he has had a darkness in his music that lends credibility to a cover of NIN.
And with regards to the whole Layla - Clapton discussion I really need to toss in my 2 cents. In a way Clapton did cover his own song. On the unplugged album his accoustic version of Layla is quite different, and I guess could be considered a cover. But it’s just Clapton reinterpretting his own song. Which was written by Eric Clapton, while he was a member of Derek and the Domino’s, for George Harrison’s (Beatles) wife.
As you can imagine, hooking up with one of the Beatle’s wives did not go over well with many people. But if i recall my trivia correctly she is the only women to ever have 2 number 1 songs written about her by 2 seperate men. Harrison had a number one hit off of Abbey Road that was written for her too.

HEY!!! I love the trivia. It makes you wonder what that woman had going for her to be so inspirational. What a legacy.
