The Band - Atlantic City (orig. by Bruce Springsteen)

Trevor, I'm getting deja vu with this one. Can you remind me which album this is on? The Band's Moondog Matinee is a great covers album, including an interesting version of the Third Man theme.

Hurt done by Sevendust

YouTube - Sevendust - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails Cover)

Thats nice enough but its nothing on Johnny Cash's cover, in my opinion.

My offering for the best would probably be Joe Strummer's version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song.

 

[Shifty89]

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Good call

Is this a binfest to see who can come up with the most obscure cover version of a song that everyone thought was originally done by the more obvious act?

Rosalie - Thin Lizzy
Red Red Wine - UB40

Come on then, anyone else

Probably more a good example of how rare decent cover versions are - though I would nominate just about any of the Sabbath covers on the Nativity in Black tribute albums.

YouTube - Guns N Roses - Knocking On Heaven's Door

Gloria- Patti Smith G-L-O-R-I-A!

Good call, that is a fine album, Faith No More are great at War Pigs but Type O Negatives "Black Sabbath" is just fine. Think Sepulturas is the best on there though.

Actually no, Supernaut, it's better than the original, and I liked the original big time.

Love the Type O version of Black Sabbath

Also loved Under the sun by Soulfly on there
