Best Covers ever?
The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana (david bowie cover)
I Fought the Law - The Clash |
Most of Rasputina's covers I like better than the originals, but that's cuz I like Rasputina I guess and don't much care for most of the people they cover... cept for Pink Floyd of course. Maybe it's the cellos that do it for me.

The Sundays - Wild Horses (Rolling Stones)

Tori Amos - all of "Strange Little Girls" actually
but in particular: "Its Raining Blood" originally by Slayer |

I love the Stereophonics version of Handbags and Gladrags but to be honest it sounds the same as when Rod Stewart did it.
