Another one from Bonnie Tyler...

Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Only Jim Steinman could pull off something like this...

I hope you know that Dave Mason plays guitar on Hendrix's version of the song.

So that makes his ****ty version somehow better than Dylan's?

Marseille - A Picture Postcard

Tim Kinsella - A Picture Postcard

Not sure if either one of those are better than the original Promise Ring version, but I think both of them are pretty good, especially the first one. Those guitars..!

Hurt by Johnny Cash. The agony and pathos in the song massively overwhelms the Nine Inch nails version for me

The original is also a Nine Inch Nails song so the Cash one wins by default.
