There are so many here that I'm trying to limit myself to covers I don't already see. As a Deadhead, I've got about a thousand, so I'll leave anything by the Dead or any of the band members off the list.

U2 - Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith)
Patti Smith - Gloria (Them)
Jeff Beck Group - Morning Dew (Bonnie Dobson)
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World (Harold Arlen / Louis Armstrong)

If you haven't heard these, I swear they are absolutely amazing.

Good thread.
I am usually always disappointed when I hear covers. Especially when country music stars take songs like Joplin's "Piece of my Heart" (Faith Hill) or when Dolly Parton does "Stairway To Heaven" (Did anyone hear that??? Absolute shite!!!) Rock stars do it too, and they call it paying homage to great acts, but I think it's often an insult to them.

And I think the thing about doing a cover is the respect thing. I think that Faith Hill has her head shoved too far up her ass if she can't see that she of all people should not be covering that song. I think it's an injustice to Janis, and to the song.

But there are a few examples of bands taking songs and adding their own flavour to them, in the process reinventing them in a good way. And they are in my list below...

1. Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles)
2. Peter, Paul and Mary - Don't Think Twice It's Alright (Dylan)
3. Cake - I Will Survive (Franklin?)
4. Ben Harper - The Drugs Don't Work, (Verve) or to a lesser extent, Sexual Healing (Mistah Mahhvin Gaye)

As far as good covers go, I think there are just too many to name - but I'll put my money on Hendrix' rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

For me, it's Tool's cover of No Quarter, hands down. Not only is it one of Zeppelin's best, but I think the Tool version is even better than Zep's, which is very fucking impressive.

OK, gonna have to find a copy of this song, because I can't imagine a non-female doing this song... It was always such a girl anthem...

Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Lightis better than Springsteen's original, and Springsteen's version of Tom Wait's Jersey Girl is so much better than the original.

Bon Jovi has a CD, This Left Feels Right (or something like that) where they cover their own songs, and put a different sound to them, that's really cool, I like some of the newer versions

I like the wacky covers, so of course all the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes stuff, like many have already said, and anything by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, or Hayseed Dixie.

I'm also fond of:
Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven (the "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" guy, from an album of nothing but Stairway covers)
Will Young - Hey Ya
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Rock and Roll All Night (from an album of Kiss covers)

Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" album is cute, too.

I picked up a few... odd... covers lately
You Really Got Me - Robots in Disguise (originally by the kinks)
Sister Christian - Coheed and Cambria (originally by night ranger)
Come On Eileen - Save Ferris (originally by Dexy's Midnight Runner, the odd thing about this one is that somebody actually covered it... I love the original!)

I also remember hearing a Powerman 5000 (Rob Zombie's brother's band) doing a cover of You Spin Me Right Round a few years ago.

They'd asked Frank Sinatra once what was his opinion of Sid Vicious' cover of My Way. Frank said something in the line of, "yeah it's fine but if I met him on the street he wouldn't exactly have a good time".

I generally like covers, even when they're awful, which most of them usually are. They are an awkward sort of tribute after all.

My favorite (at the moment) is Calexico's version of Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, one of the two most beautiful love songs ever. (The second one being There is a Light that Never Goes Out by The Smiths - it even has its own brave and unconventional electro cover by the wonderful Erlend Oye).

Anyway, back to Calexico and Love Will Tear Us Apart - it's the only cover of this song I've ever heard (and believe me, there are MANY) that does it justice. They play it on a much happier and somewhat faster note than the original, but it sounds really good.

While we're there, 16 Horsepower did a kick ass cover of Heart and Soul (Joy Division again). All Joy Division cover attempts usually turn to disaster, but 16 HP are just weird and brilliant enough to pull it off.

Jose Gonzalez does good covers too.

One could even argue it's a cover of Misirlou. Sort of. Remix. Whatever.

I've really been digging Stone Sour's cover of Wicked Game lately. Isaak's version of the song always struck me as good, but over-produced. The Stone Sour version clearly doesn't have that issue.

Also good:

Barenaked Ladies - Lovers in a Dangerous Time (originally by Bruce Cockburn) has a similar charm to the Stone Sour cover mentioned above. Bruce Cockburn did it all synth-y and didn't quite catch the melancholy of the song the way the Ladies do.

The Black Crowes - Hard To Handle (originally by Otis Redding) is a case where the cover band does the song exactly the same as the original, only better.

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias (originally by the Grateful Dead); Sublime adds a nice dub/hip hop twist to the song that works very well.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Hey Joe (originally by Jimi); Nick does it almost as a funeral march. It's very slow and somber, which is an interesting new twist on a classic.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Fire (also originally by Jimi); typical RHCP funk rock. Like Jimi, only faster and.. well, funkier.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Minnie the Moocher; I might get burned by aberkok for this one, but what the hell. Sure, BBVD is almost solely responsible for that odd little swing craze in the 90's, but they still did a good job with this one. Was it Cab good? Well, no. But still good.

Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns; bonus points to anyone who knows who did it first.

That seems nearly impossible. I'm sure you have but just didn't realize it... mainly because sometimes the covers become more popular than the original. "All Along the Watchtower" is probably the best example of that.

I'd have to say mine is Tool's cover of No Quarter, by Led Zeppelin. I think they actually managed to do a better cover than the original, and that's really saying something.

I've also gotta echo White Zombie's cover of Children of the Grave. They managed to enhance an already fantastic song.
