As much as I like Duran Duran (yeah I said I like Duran Duran) they had no business doing that cover

[Nameless]

There is tons of excellent covers which I've seen and discovered here; If I would have to share one and only one with you here, I think that it would be :

Johnny Cash - hurt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s



To me, this cover of NIN is perhaps one of the three best cover songs ever did, this song has the power to comfort me when I am sad and to make me melancholic when I am doing fine.

[Dizaster]

Any song Nirvana covered they did with total class..

Here is one i'd like to add

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TehFZ38kt6o
Then Metallica performing the sh!t out of it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKLq1JD3vU

[El Kabong]

Metallica...there's a band I hope I never hear from again. "Bunch of assholes" - The Dude


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq5P4LnrGU0

...tough to outshine Frankie, but Elvis held his own covering that song


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3OwyaNnyM

GREAT version of Dixie

[superheavyrhun]

Personally, I reckon the cover of Desolation Row MCR made for the Watchmen film was better than the Bob Dylan original.

Not sure if this counts as a reworking rather than a cover, but I also prefer the Eminem version of Dream On by Aerosmith, (Sing for the moment)

And finally, Muse's version and Eels' versions of Feeling Good are both improvements on the original, ut can't find the Eels one on youtube, so enjoy some Muse.
