Sorry, can't post video links yet. I will try repeating any already mentioned.

54 Nude Honeys - Hot Generation (originally by the Sunsets)
The Blue Brothers - Rubber Biscuit (originally by the Chips)
Chicago - I'm a Man (originally by Spencer Davis Group)
Dread Zeppelin - Born on the Bayou (originally by CCR I think)
eX-Girl - Pop Muzik (originally by M)
Aurora - Ordinary World (originally by Duran Duran)
Living Colour - Memories Can't Wait (originally by the Talking Heads - both versions are awesome but I think the Living Colour one is the better)
SRV - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) (originally by Jimi - Jimi was by far a superior songwriter, but I think SRV is a superior player)
TMBG - Istanbul (forgot who did the original but it is terrible)
Yardbirds - I'm a Man (originally by Bo Diddley)
Zip Code Rapists - Good Ship Pablo Cruise (originally by Pablo Cruise)

I like Ingrid Michaelson's cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love" more than the original by Elvis because her version sounds more delicate and emotional to me. The original by Elvis is still a lovely song though.

Butthole Surfers makes the song rather listenable.

Ray Lamontagne - Crazy


Gary Jules - Mad World



My favorite Hallelujah cover..

I like almost any Beatle cover-song I come across, but I have a hard time liking Rolling Stones cover-songs. I don't know if I am more critical being a Stones fans or I am more use to hearing the Beatles being covered by other groups.

I am split with this track. I think don't the backing band did a better job music-wise. It begins odd and could be had been more well thought out; but the backing track picks up after awhile. On the other hand I think they did an amazing job arranging the vocals. Sound like Billy Davis Jr. doing lead part. I really like the exchange between all the singers during the chorus. I think vocals are where they really knock it out of the ballpark.

Ive been catching up on Shippuden and found this Amv



I wouldn't say it's better than the original but i think it's a pretty decent cover.

There's something about this version that captures the feeling of the lyrics so much better than the rather poppy, uppy tone of the original.
