I think that might have been Sid Vicious's short-lived solo project, but it was released on The Great Rock N Roll Swindle. Also, Paul Anka wrote "My Way."

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but Frank made it famous. Anyway, Sid changed a lot of words so maybe it's not really a cover.

Some good ones for the guitar players:

Johnny Winter - Highway 61 (Dylan)
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Dylan)
Jeff Beck - A Day In The Life (Beatles)

Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready (from Pearl Jam) covered Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" at the Dylan 30th anniversary concert in 1993. I think it's my favorite Dylan cover -- a powerful rendition of a powerful song.

I'm also a fan of Marvin Gaye's cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" and Aretha's cover of "Respect." They pretty much made people forget who did the originals (which are good in their own right).
