What's your favorite cover song?

I don't know too much about various good covers, but I really enjoy the Wakey! Wakey! cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two Headed Boy". And Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah".

[Mo-Nercy]

I quite like Jamie Cullum's cover of Rihanna's 'Don't Stop The Music' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avu_4TcnxFs) atm. It's very jazzy.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Pretty much the best cover ever.

YouTube - Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower - ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bng3agUOYiI)

[NeoCracker]

YouTube - 99 Red Balloons - GoldFinger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYIlgRg9TY)

I love when covers are better than the original. Also, Kid Cudi is the only person that can write a catchy song that promotes drunk driving and get away with it.

I think Kamiki Aya's cover of Pierrot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQdGYW6--MQ) is better than the original.

johnny cash - hurt

I don't know too much about various good covers, but I really enjoy the Wakey! Wakey! cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two Headed Boy". And Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah".

Jesse Lacey of Brand New also played a pretty good cover of 'Two Headed Boy'.

Mine would have to be:

Guided By Voices 'Gleemer' covered by Ben Gibbard.
Postal Service 'We Will Become Silhouettes' covered by The Shins
Don Henley 'Boys of Summer' covered by The Ataris

i enjoy those off the top of my head, also this: YouTube - Taj Mahal Johnny Too Bad - The Harder They Come Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hir5aT76Rf4) & I particularly just liked how they did that video to a montage from the harder they come. etc. fionn regan also did a powerfully awesome cover of woody guthrie's 'slipknot' when i saw him live a couple of years ago, but i don't think that's ever been recorded, sadly
