Six Pence None the Richer "Kiss Me"
Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Voodoo Chille"
Brandi Carlile "Folsom Prison Blues"
Gnarls Barkley "Gone Daddy Gone"
Mark Ronson "Valerie"
No Doubt "It's My Life"

Any song Bob Dyllon performed. Great writer, horrible singer.

yup - something like 'hey mr.tambourine man' by the byrds was more interesting musically and had incredible harmonies.

Tom Waits covering Sea of Love, great cover and movie.

Can't believe this one hasn't been posted yet (maybe you all hate it), but the Foo Fighters cover of "Darling Nikki" is one of my favorite covers.

Having grown up a big Johnny Cash fan and hearing so many 'One' covers I think we gotta bring it up, my choice is U2's version. Someone may have brought it up already, but the length of this thread didn't motivate me to proof read for U2:)

Excellent call.

It's not better than the original, but I heard Cancer Bat's metal cover of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" last night. Kinda cool.

Cowboy Junkies - 2 of them:

Sweet Jane - no offense to Lou Reed, but I've heard Margo sing this a couple of times live, the last of which was in Boston's Symphony Hall with the Boston Pops as a backup band. 'Nuff said.

Powderfinger - old, but good.

Even Lou Reed thinks that the Cowboy Junkies' version is the best.

Very good cover, but I miss Raphael Ravencroft's sax.

Agree, I never really cared for his version but thought that Cowboy Junkies version was much better.

Good call.

Alan Jackson's cover of The Eagles "Tequila Sunrise" anyone? There were several very good covers on that "Common Thread: Songs of The Eagles" album, but I think Alan Jackson's cover was the only one that was measurably better.

Killdozer's version of "Take The Money and Run"

:)

U2 is the original artist. Johnny Cash covered it.

I caught "The Day I Tired To Live" by Soundgarden covered by Between the Buried and Me on Sirius the other day. Twasn't too bad.

Lori Morgan's "The Sad Cafe" and Suzy Bogguss "Take it to the Limit" from Common Thread were pretty good too.

The Carpenters' Superstar is good...

The Sonic Youth version of Superstar is mindblowing...

The entire Carpenters tribute album from the 90s was pretty solid.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers
