I haven't heard Cale's version, but I have a lot of contempt for the kd lang and rufus wainwright covers of Hallelujah. Completely unnecessary - Buckley already did that version. Plus, I just hate lang in general. Along with "Helpless", she has a track record for sucking the life out of others' songs.

I'll enter the necessary cliche of Hendrix and "All Along the Watchtower".

I'll probably be contested here, but I prefer the Foo Fighters version of "Baker Street".

And I'll give a vote for A Perfect Circle's hybrid cover, "Diary of a Lovesong".
