The Ben Folds cover is probably the best one ever, shit always gets me singing along.

I'm pretty much a Nouvelle Vague addict:

Basia Bulat had a really good version of 'Someday' by The Strokes on her myspace that's since vanished, but this versions okay:

^ hahah, that's awesome

anyone else heard the albums Wilco & Billy Bragg did of Woody Guthrie songs?

I watched the documentary about the project called 'the man in the sand' (which is instantly watchable on netflix, I highly recommend a gander), and this song was in the dvd but not on either albums, and it puzzled me until I found this video of Wilco performing it live

One of the best covers I've ever heard:
Small | Large


Ummmm
Hendix - all along the watchtower Dylan
Does Physical by Revco even count as a cover? Olivia Newton John
1000 homo DJ's Supernaut - Black Sabbath
Planet Caravan by pantera        ""
Dead Souls NIN - Joy Division
Hurt Johnny Cash - NIN
UB40's version of red wine not sure who did the og one.
I forgot Donovans Hurdy Gurdy man being covered by the Butthole Surfers.
Shit, Devo's satisfaction cover
I guess I like a lot of covers, going over 50's music could take a while.

It's mind-boggling how many rad 50's and 60's songs were written in the 20's

The Zombies (1965)

Shit, just checked the wikipedia page, and that song's been covered and recorded (at least) 40 times.
