    This could be a good thread.

    Off the top of my head, one of my favorite remakes is "Smooth Criminal." Michael Jackson made it famous, but I love the edge that Alien Ant Farm gave it. I know many will disagree and I understand why you'd disagree.

    I actually prefer most of the Beatles remake on the Across the Universe soundtrack to the original. I feel they had more soul than the originals. Not to take away from the Beatles genious, but the music world has changed drastically in the past 50 years.

    Placebo's take on "Running Up That Hill" is also a favorite remake of mine - much better than Kate Bush's version.

    i like this one too

    All those Zeppelin covers from their first couple albums were pretty decent. :D

    IMO - one of my all-time favorite covers of a legendary 70's song! Foo Fighters doing "Baker Street" by Jerry Rafferty. Crushed it I think.

    One of my all time favorite covers is Brian Ferry's version of John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'. The Grateful Dead king of doing covers. I call them the most unoriginal original band in rock history. Also Linda Ronstadt was not a song writer and did everyone's songs.

    the big English bands recorded Stones songs to help raise funds, or consciousness, or something, when the latter had been busted & were doin' some time.

    The Who, e.g., covered The Last Time -- for better or worse :-P

    True Stevie Ray did a mini Hendrix set 3/4 songs in most of his shows. The Jerry Garcia Band did many Dylan covers and as w/ the Dead my favorite was Bobby Weir doing ' Paint My Masterpiece', also in their Dylan mix was 'All Along The Watchtower. Dave Mason's version usually a show closer was much better. Chris Issack doing Roy Orbison's 'Wicked Games' his break out hit. Of course Clapton doing 'I shot the Sheriff' was huge for him. I also liked Metallica's version of Bob Seegar's 'Turn The Page. So not into heavy metal but they did justice to one of my favorite songs.
