Can't believe that no one has posted Carole King's "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor.

Heavy Metal...old before it was young. (Sorry)

[CameronBornAndBred]

Jane's Addiction cover of the Grateful Dead's "Ripple". A lot of Deadhead's hated it, but they are my two favorite bands, it was a nice match. The album it's on, "Deadicated", has a bunch of interesting covers of Dead songs from various artists.

Also Jane's Addiction cover of "Sympathy for the Devil".

[A-Tex Devil]

Glen Hanspard (the dude that won the Oscar from Once) did an awesome cover of Cry Me a River... seriously... check it out on iTunes. When Timberlake sang it, I never paid attention to the words and just ignored it. It's really a pretty angry song...

But the all time two best:

Gin and Juice by the Gourds
Boyz in the Hood by Dynamite Hack

[Bluedawg]

Probably one of the best song written...Desperado


The Eagles - Desperado

Clint Black - Desperado [Mixed for youtube..not his mix ]

Linda Ronstadt - Desperado

Carrie Underwood - Desperado

Johnny Cash's Desperado

[BobbyFan]

A few more if we're not limiting it to just metal:

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Gary Jules - Mad World
The Clash - I Fought the Law

[pamtar]

Shai Hulud's version of NoFX's 'Linoleum' is pretty good.

[fadero]

unfaithful servant... roseane cash
chest fever... widespread panic
every mothers son ...drive by truckers
the weight... duane allman and aretha franklin

[ArkieDukie]

Sheryl Crow - "The First Cut is the Deepest"
Counting Crows w/Vanessa Carlton - "Big Yellow Taxi" (I also liked the Amy Grant version)

[2535Miles]

I'll also add Walk This Way with Run DMC... does that even count, since Aerosmith was still in that version?

Hmm, I'm not sure this counts as a cover. But it's one of my favorite collaborations!

Social Distortion - Ring of Fire

Fantastic!

puff daddy - every step you take by The Police (i forget what the cover song is called), and
puff daddy - kashmir by Led Zeppelin (again, i forget)

Did you ever get a chance to hear any of the Grey Album? Danger Mouse (more recently recognized as the dj in Gnarls Barkely) mixed Jay Z's Black Album over the Beatles White Album. Technically not a cover, but superb hip-hop. Too bad EMI went ape poo over the whole thing.

Boyz in the Hood by Dynamite Hack

YES!!!

[captmojo]

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered"...Peter Frampton

"Crazy Train"...Pat Boone...

Anybody remember Mrs. Miller?

Discovered this one just now, and love it:
