Re: Best Song Covers
The correct answer is "Crazy" by Pasty Cline.
(Willie Nelson was the original)

Re: Best Song Covers
Not sure how this hasn't been mentioned yet:
"Blinded By The Light" - Manfred Mann (Bruce Springsteen) I like these also: "The Ghost of Tom Joad" - Rage Against the Machine (Bruce Springsteen) "Signs" - Tesla (Five Man Electical Band) The Dynamite Hack version of "Boyz-N-The-Hood" (NWA) was mentioned but it always gives me a smile when I hear it (or even think about it) for some reason. I read Ray Davies believes the VH version of "You Really Got Me" is better than The Kinks. I think most of Led Zeppelin's first album consisted of both credited covers and uncredited swipes from old Blues musicians. I think I read that in Hammer of the Gods but it's been a while since I read that. Album totally rocks though and is one of my top all time favorites.

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Leif Garrett. Instant classic. Irieguy [/ QUOTE ] That's the Melvins with Leif Garrett singing lead vocals. Give Buzzo some credit for coming up with that one. (Which is especially funny considering Cobain used to be a roadie for the Melvins).

Re: Best Song Covers
I have never heard a good cover of Heroin although a lot of people have taken a crack at it.
Maybe they shouldn't have bothered. I honestly can't see any way that a band would be able to improve the VU version.

Another example (and my pick): Me and Bobby McGee, as covered by Janis Joplin.
