Great pick. Prince's solo is just jaw-dropping. I've always enjoyed watching the reaction on Dhani Harrison's face.Keyser Soze said:

Shinedown's cover of Lynyrd Skynrd's Simple Man
Seether's cover of George Michael's Careless Whisper
Practically every one of Linda Ronstadt's hits was a cover of somebody, Buddy Holly, Michael Nesmith, Roy Orbison, Warren Zevon. This one is by Don & Phil, the Everly Brothers.
But damn, she made them her own and sounded so good and looked so damn good doing them. Still my favorite gal singer.

This might be the best cover of all time. I know it was a life changing experience for me.
Back when he was just seventeen, before he invented Ricky Nelson, the great James Burton invented this lick on a record he recorded with Dale Hawkins called "Oh, Susie Q".
Years later, an unknown band called Credence Clearwater Revival put out that same song. I was driving down the old Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike when John C. Fogerty came screaming through my car radio singing Oh, Susie Q and playing that James Burton lick in a way I'd never heard it.
My life was never the same after that.

Leon covered a lot of great songs.... here is his (with the New Grass Revival) cover of The Beatles "I've Just Seen a Face"...
A little band in Austin doing their cover of "I've Been Working on the Railroad"....
Mitch Miller doing his version of "That Good Old Baylor Line"
This was the version I heard first. It was many years before I knew someone else originally sang this song:

"Came in Through the Bathroom Window"
by Joe Cocker
To my estimation, the only time someone covered a Beatles tune and it didn't suck.
Linda Ronstadt and Ann Savoy covering "Walk Away Renee".... originally performed by the Left Bank
Couldn't decide between Linda & Ann .... or Jimmy Lafave.... so posting both....
Walk Away Renee

Great great great thread.
The best cover of this song IMO
"Sic em yesterday, sic em today, sic em forever"
Eagles' Hotel California done by the Gypsy Kings from the Coen Brothers classic, the Big Lebowski.
This is the film version just because it's so damn good. I'll also link the music only version

Roy Rogers posted a cover of Stand By Me.... here is Spyder Turner doing his interesting version.... and he gives us a glimpse at how Jackie Wilson, James Brown, the Temps and others might have done it...

I expect better from you!

Not quite as good as the original, but a pretty salty cover.
