Agreed, definitely a top cover to a classic.
Absolutely Epic. Happened just before his death IIRC
That's right, saved one of his best until last. Cash had such a great talent, glad he dealt with most his demons in the end.
Keith Richards' favorite version apparently
Fela Kuti Original:
Just about the only cover of a Fela Kuti song I can listen to:

Better than the original
Terrible original
Brilliant Bowie cover

Really like this.
Always liked this Mary J´s voice adds that special something.
Bill Bailey did an awesome cover of Radioheads Creep in an Indian stylee. Can't seem to to find an unblocked video of it though.
Better than the original. Don’t care what anybody else thinks.
Few of my favourite Like a Versions
Posted this one once in some other thread, it's a pretty damn nice job. DMA's are a good band anyway, saw them in Amsterdam last year (I think). Plenty of great Aussie bands out there at the moment coming to think about it.
Just heard this
I absolutely love the original and this is a really nice cover IMO

Fantastic cover.
I'm assuming plenty of you have seen the Strongbow advert, with the two guys performing 'Together in Electric Dreams' in the pub and everyone is singing along?
I love that song, and I love the advert, and I just found it on Itunes and I think it is a fantastic cover. Here it is for anyone interested:
Glen Hansard has quite a few great covers of Van Morrison.
Jeff Buckley covering the Smiths.
The Man Whom's cover of Black-eyed dog by Nick Drake

Seems it's a violation of YouTube's TOS, for some reason. Found a copy on Facebook, though...

Bill Bailey is ace and very underrated, I think. In the same show, he did 'Duelling Sitars', which I guess counts as a cover...
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet...
And some may not know that this is actually a cover...
Mate you're an absolute star!
Another one of my favourites, Sinead's cover of Elton John's Sacrifice.
The Elvis Song
Femme Fatale by the Velvet Underground
as covered by REM
