This always comes to mind first when asked the question...

You have good taste Banshee. I posted same but noticed you chose same cover just before I did. lol

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

This always comes to mind first when asked the question...

This is one of the first things that came to my mind. Along with Hazel O' Conner's cover of The Stranglers ''Hanging Around''

However, this one is my choice.....

Perfect Circle - when the levee breaks.

Though the specials SKA covers I prefer to some of the originals

 

[Jacob Smith]

Love Is Blindness by Jack White

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Blinded By The Light -- Manfred Mann's version is one of my favorite songs ever. But originally it was a Bruce Springsteen song.

 

[IM NOT REALLY HERE]

Not a cover but this acoustic version of everlong by the foo fighters is better than the original.

 

[maccadon]

Hurt by johnny cash as been already mentioned

Daytripper - ocs
May you never - Paul weller

 

[Helmet Cole]

Bernard Manning sings the smiths. He just carries a tune better than mozza.

 

[Elbow beards]

Ryan adams over Taylor Swift anyday

 

[Sonic Temple]

 

[steviemc]

Feeling Good - Muse.
I really like the Nina Simone version, which is without doubt an absolute classic, but I prefer listening to the Muse version.
