Now that we are waiting for the Udo Dirkschneider album My Way which will contain cover versions of old songs I'm thinking about the fact that cover versions are usually weaker than the originals. At least that's what I think but of course there are some exceptions that prove the rule.
Let's share some good cover songs here.

Seems like this thread is not the most popular so far...  Seems like it is my thread only  OK, so let's throw a stone to the water with this one - which I actually like a lot. It's much better than the overhyped George Michael version. |

Well, one good cover version came into my mind right away. And it is Van Halen - You Really Got Me (originally from the Kinks).

I do not like Bob Dylan, but I do like Mighty Quinn song when Gotthard played it.

I think there are quite many good cover sons out there. At least when one starts to search for cover songs. |

There are another cover version of this song played by Roxy Music.
Funny that I like both versions much more than the original (by John Lennon).

The best cover songs are not dutiful reproductions of the original but actually make you believe that the cover is the original. At least in my opinion.
Perfect examples in my book include:
Metallica - Am I Evil?
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
Judas Priest - Diamonds And Rust
Dream Theater - Perfect Strangers
Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sheriff
Anthrax - Antisocial
