I could not disagree more. It's good, but no way is it better.

I thought The Smashing Pumpkins did a good job with that one.

"I Fought the Law" by the Clash - packs a huge wallop over the much tamer original by Bobby Fuller

Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon - Urge Overkill (originally Neil Diamond)
Although I like that version, it is not possible for anyone or any group to cover a Neil Diamond song better than the master himself. In fact, it's generally know that all performing artists live in fear that Neil will cover one of their songs and sink them into oblivion.

What Jeff Buckley did with Hallelujah was pretty good too.

Originally recorded by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets. Regardless, the Clash version is now the standard.

Original - Lynard Skynard
Cover - Shinedown. Somewhat accoustic with one of the most amazing vocal performances ever recorded. They also have an excellent video on their site and on Utube.

I really liked George Harrison's but this is also good.
I am also thinking Leslie Feist - Inside and Out is better than the BeeGees's

Agreed. And although any version is better than Leonard Cohen, I have yet to hear anyone come close to Buckley.

Happy Birthday, by Marilyn Monroe. Best Cover Ever. Although Wild Thing by Sam Kinison was good.

"Hit me baby one more time" Travis version (original Britney Spears). Actually makes this song beautiful.
"Never Let Me Down Again" Smashing Pumpkins version (original Depeche Mode is actually pretty awesome also). Kind of creepy.
"Higher Ground" RHCP version, sorry Stevie
and finally, The Ramones "Acid Eater's" album is one of the best collection of cover songs ever, all 60s type stuff. I have not heard all the originals, but this may be the finest work by the Ramones.

"All Along the Watchtower: Jimi Hendrix version is better than Bob Dylan original "
----------------------------------
The Tom Landa & The Paperboys' version is an excellent cover:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DENF6S4xens
The audio in this video pretty much sucks, but it can be found on "A Nod to Bob" which can be previewed here:
http://www.amazon.com/...US/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk7
I should also mention Dave Mason's very good version.

That would be The Sundays. Had to be like 15 years ago, I was in college. I kind of like that version. Not better than the original though.
