My personal favorite from the list:

19 Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies, 1988

orig. Velvet Underground, 1970

Spare, evocative remake of the Velvet Underground's 1970 original. Much moodier and less grungy, it is Margo Timmins' almost whispered vocals, recorded in a church, which reignite Lou Reed's seedy, downtown anthem. The pacing and phrasing are perfect. Key moment: Timmins's longing, languorous bridge: "Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me when you smile."

On that list, I liked the Who's version of Summertime Blues. I'm sure there were a lot more that could be added.

Gotta go with Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah . . .

A little over a year ago, our paper's entertainment section did a list of the 25 worst cover songs and JB and Sinatra's "Mac the Knife" was 24 on the list. I haven't read the "entertainment" section since.

OK let's just name a few that got missed
Uh the grateful Dead. from El Paso to Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
and quite a few in between. Uh also There was a guy who
was named Jerry Garcia that did quite a job on the Thrill is gone
Heart-- A couple of Zep covers and how bout The Nevilles
Tell It Like It Is
Mellencamp covered his own song I Need A Lover....
George Strait Amarillo By Morning Chris Did It but George did it best
Garth Brooks - Calling Baton Rouge
Early Rod Stewart.. Anyone?????
Joan Jett Crimson and Clover
Faith Hill She's a Wild One
just off the top of my head.


And if you want to throw Chum into the waters lets talk christmas songs.....

Two off the top of my head can be traced back to Bruce Springsteen. I always liked Manfred Manns Blinded by the Light and also 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged version of Because the Night.

Since we are talking about the Grateful Dead. How about Lyle Lovett covering "Friend of the Devil"?

Aerosmith - Come Together

First, I must say, thank you Jah for just posting the link and not all 50 songs.

Second, how can a Brittany Spears song be on there and not Al Green's "Take Me to the River" as covered by The Talking Heads? Is there no justice in this world?

I'll just throw one in the ring for now....... Tesla- "Signs".........
To be continued.......

Since I'm not able to get to the site for some reason, I thought I would add:

7 Seconds - 99 Red Balloons

The Doors- Gloria

Patty smith (?) did Because the night after the Boss turned it down.

you and Me too

Billy Dean "We Just disagree"
I have seen both live and Billys cover is just wonderfull

Mellancamp Streetfighting Man
I love Rod Stewarts cover but John just does this song
wonder If he recorded it or not???

Uh was Van Halen mentioned??? Pretty Women should be listed.

I think the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a pretty good job with Mr. Bojangles. And Smashmouth was great with I'm a Believer

Bruce originally wrote the song, patty smith made it famous though. Bruce often does this song in concert.

Bruce and Patti co-wrote it as best I remember.
