Default Re: Best Cover Songs

How about Janis Joplin's cover of "Me and Bobby McGee," originally by Kris Kristopherson.

I like "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies, originally a Velvet Underground song. I enjoy both versions but like how the Cowboy Junkies changed the mood of the song, similar to Ryan Adams' cover of Wonderwall.

I think best cover of a Bob Dylan song probably deserves its own thread.

I like the "In My Time of Dying" call earlier in the thread. I love that song and never knew it was a cover.
