A couple of more to throw out;

Stone Temple Pilots cover of "Dancing Days" by Led Zeppelin is another good one.  

Nirvana's cover of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" is absolutely amazing.  


TP. Cobain sang that beautifully

Those FNM covers are very good.

I'm not familiar with the Soundgarden cover of the Beatles. Would be interested to hear it.

If you like Soundgarden and Sabbath, Soundgarden's cover of "Into the Void" (with alternate lyrics) is tremendous. Kyuss also admirably covered "Into the Void".

Yeah, most people don't realize it's a cover tune.

And it is the best cover tune of all time.

Pretty much

I really love the Dropkick version of WIld Rover.

I sing that song all the time. I usually don't remember it, but people tell me i do.

  • Yup
Led Zeppelin and the Stones had a bunch of old blues covers

plus Led Zep's cover of Joan Baez's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is pretty darn awesome.

Mick Jagger & Lenny Kravitz had a peach of a cover of Bill Withers' "Use Me" 
Yup

I'm not a huge Boss fan, but he's got some great covers:

"Because the Night"
Detroit Medley
"Hold on, I'm Coming"
