i'll go for Tom Waits - Waltzing Matilda.

not only one of the best covers, one of the greatest songs ever.

TheFrog said:

for completeness, i should also have added, "Tom Traubert's Blues" in the title.

TheFrog said:

Leonard's got a new album out, by the way-I have a thread about it.

I love the Travis cover as well-brilliant.

I'd have to add The Cardigans' "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" to the list.

Interesting and unique take on it.

Comfortably Numb - The Scissor Sisters. Brilliant.

I just came across a Ween cover of Shockadelica! It's not bad at all.

Get Yourself Together - The Jam

Twist & Shout - The Beatles

I rarely come across a good cover,cuz in my opinion the origional song usualy is the best version.It's quite easy to do something different with an already existing song,you don't have to invent it and people will easily take the time to listen to a cover cuz they know the song already...Don't really know if it's clear,what I'm trying to say here,but good covers don't come around that often..

Get it on - Power station
Born to run - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Red Red wine - UB 40
