Best Cover Songs of All Time

[jabes416]

Dave makes some outstanding covers, but so do many other musicians. What are some of your fav. covers....


I love Rufus Wainwright's and Jeff Buckley's covers of Hallelujah. Simple Man cover by shinedown is a good listen, I put a spell on you by CCR is as well. Watchtower by dave and jimi are outstanding. Crossroads is always a great cover song...cream, even John Mayer have given it justice

I think my favorite might be Joe Cockers woodstock cover of With a little help from my friends...

Buckley's version of Hallelujah, to me, is THE version of Hallelujah. Same with Hendrix covering Watchtower.

you know, daves cover of For the Beauty of Wynona is so perfect, its so raw.

Pearl Jam - Rockin' in the Free World and Fortunate Son are pretty sweet.

Joe Cocker-With a Little Help From My Friends. Probably the only person who will ever make a Beatles song better than the original.

JB's Hallelujah, of course, but not so much Rufus' version like someone said. Rufus' covers of Everybody Knows and Chelsea Hotel No. 2 are fucking fantastic though. He really needs to do an all Cohen cover disc.

Ben Folds - Bitches Ain't Shit

Dave's version of Long Black Veil is pretty sick too
