Man, I heard possibly the best cover song about a week ago and its been all over the radio.I personally collect acoustic cover versions of songs. I love all acoustics but specifically people covering others music. Like, I've got four or five versions of Tiny Dancer, Bob Dylan doing Creep from Radiohead, and, one of my favorites, Garth Brooks singing Turn The Page by Bob Seager (not that shitty Metallica version that sounds like crap). Even my Audioslave doing Seven Nation Army is great. But.. today... man I heard it twice and I'm convinced its the BEST.COVER.EVER!Simple Kind of Man.Now I've heard the original thousnads of times. I'm a huge fan of it.. But the remake.. oh my.. I don't know who the dude is! every time I've heard it, they never mention his name- but I need to find his name. I need it! He hits notes in that song... it just plain rocks.What are your favorite covers that you've heard?

Suddenly I turned around
And she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I'm recycling this thread.
Two great covers off the top of my head are...
I'm Losing You (John Lennon) by Colin James
Hey Ya (Outkast) by Obidiah Parker

Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

If you like cover songs, check out the Coverville podcast. You can subscribe through iTunes or download the episodes at Coverville.com
It's one of my 3 or 4 favorite podcasts. The early episodes are unpolished but the music is edgy; now it's a bit more refined.
One of the favorite covers I've heard on there is the Opie Gone Bad cover of Sympathy for the Devil. Just amazing, unfortunately, the only way I can find to get it is to buy the whole album from them, and we're sort of beyond the days of buying a whole album for one song.
But Coverville has so many amazing covers it'd be hard to list them all. Another one that jumps out after a couple of years is Barb Jungr's version of Tangled Up in Blue, done with some great piano.
EDIT: Quick sample of Tangled Up in Blue mentioned above: http://s0.ilike.com/play#Barb+Jungr:Tangle...32191:m13165569
although the sample doesn't do it justice.

I'm obsessed with punk covers, far too many to list but a good one that was just recently released is The Almost's cover of Free Fallin' by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It's not strictly punk, more of a pop rock thing but a damn fine version of a really great song.
I can listen to Me First and the Gimme Gimme's - Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzfah over and over again.

Also like the Lemonheads cover of Mrs. Robinson.
