Clash...I Fought the law wasn't to shabby...

Not like they were the best I've always like Frankie goes to hollywoods version of Born to run and San Jose.

Will always be Hendrix's Watchtower cover. The way he 'strangles' the guitar to produce the sound during the solo is incredible.

The original wasn't too bad either. Dylan is/was the master.

Marvin Gaye - I heard it through the grapevine. Sublime

IMHO this Jo Cocker cover was unusual in that it created a very different, almost unrecognisable (and much improved) song. It also happened to be a fantastic performance.

I'm a big Hendrix fan but I can't get excited about Watchtower. However I think his version of Johnny B Goode at Berkeley Uni stands out as one of the most exciting exhibitions of talent ever. He does seem to become one with his instrument.

Not sure if posted already, but Handbags and Gladrags by the 'Phonics was better than the original, in my opinion.
