Best Cover Songs

[Tron]

Wyclef does a pretty good cover of "No Woman, No Cry." It is just a little bit more upbeat than Bob's, and I think it works pretty nicely.

Train Kept A Rollin'-The Yardbirds or Aerosmith both have smoking versions of this song. I'm pretty sure someone else wrote it. Yes, Tiny Bradshaw wrote it, although I think inspiration came from the Johnny Burnette Trio.

Also, The Yardbirds have a great version of 'Smokestack Lightning', which I believe was written or performed by Howlin' Wolf.

Jimi Hendrix version of "All along the Watchtower" is better than Dylan's (as is the version Hendrix and BB King played of "Like a Rolling Stone").

Jose Gonzalez song "Heartbeats" (from the Sony Bravia commercial) is a cover of a swedish band called the Knife.

What else...I like Pearl Jam's version of "Crazy Mary" a lot.

Aah, how could I forget this one.

Children of Bodom - Rebel Yell > Billy Idol original

But I prefer metal...so that's probably swaying my decision.

But it won't, because electric guitar + some shredder + classical music = crap.
