- Dinosaur Jr. - Just like heaven, (cover of the Cure)
- Judas Priest featuring Ynwie Malmsteem - Mr. Crowley (cover of Ozzy Osbourne)

Just one then?
Travelling Riverside Blues - Led Zeppelin
Heard It Through The Grapevine - CCR
And others I may add if I can remember.
just listening to radiohead do 'wish you were here' - thom yorke sang it down the phone for the recording, if i remember correctly (not as some kind of artsy/pretentious thing, think it was for something in america being done live or something, not sure).
it's good though!

Yup, his studio albums are good but live he just takes it on a whole new level.
From that live performance I also like 'Lake of Fire' and 'Plateau', both songs by the Meat Puppets I believe
Cover of a song by Robert Johnson. If anyone hasn't listened to Johnson's 'Complete Recordings', what are you waiting for?
Actually - Heard it through the Grapevine is a great cover by both CCR and Marvin Gaye - considering it was wrote for Smokey Robinson.
John Legend (couple posts above) also does a good cover of I Want You (She' so Heavy), but only live from what I can tell.
John Legend shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a Lennon/McCartney song.
Oh look, it's the music Nazi.
I particularly like the way it goes into "If you go down to the woods today" for literally no reason at the end.

Agreed.
Yeah, I guess it adds that fairytale-esque finish to a song which in fairness is quite Brothers Grimm in lyricism anyway; 'if there's a bustle in your hedgerow' and all that. I think it's a pretty perfectly suited yet crazy finish to a whirl-wind of madness!
Also Hotel California - By The Gypsy King's - a fantastic version of another All Time Classic Rock Staple.
I hate the song because when I try the solo I go instantly out of time and can't help but play the first note of Comfortably Numbs solo by mistake.
I'm not a clever man.

Actually, this probably deserves a video:
So much energy!

Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold,
Everything he/they do is fecking brilliant. Outstanding band and a genius singer/songwriter.

Will Oldham - The World's Greatest (R Kelly)
Manics - Theme from M*A*S*H
In a Hendrix mood at the moment, I always considered him the best artist when it comes to covers.
Not Fade Away -Stones

Controversial but I like both versions.
Oasis' version is far superior imo. One of the last great things they did.
I love the original, but this is just something else.
While I am under no illusions the the music police (the ones who think they are better qualified than everyone else to decide whats music is best) will not slate -
Love her.
Love her.
Also, this one by the end product of a Hernandez, Valencia and Nani gang bang, that I heard the other week, is quite awesome.
A great Clash cover
And a great cover by the Clash

Caution: Much swearing:
Some people may hate this one, but I love it:
If anybody wants to see some decent covers, have a look at the album "See my Friends" by Ray Davis of the Kinks. It has some fantastic covers of kinks songs from people like Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Paloma Faith, Mumford & Sons etc.
That is so bad it should be in the dire cover versions thread. Truly terrible and it ignores the entire meaning and context of the lyrics.
Never heard her before but I hate it when people vocally overcomplicate a song like that. It reminds me of Idol auditions where people with half decent voices try to impress the judges. She also seems to have a lisp which means she can't pronounce all of the words properly.
It's the Alan Partridge interpretation.
