H2O - Like A Prayer (Madonna).

Hands down. And I don't even like the original.

Twist and Shout-Beatles!!!

But the greatest ever is Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower by far.

Knockin On Heavens Door by GnR... I'd debate that.

But definitely Ryan Adams version of Wonderwall and Nirvanas Man Who Sold The World.

Humble Pie - Honky Tonk Woman (absolutely p*sses all over the original.)
Humble Pie - C'mon Everybody (the classic Cochran song, and it sounds like Oasis' song Cigarettes & Alcohol, which in turn sounds like T-Rex)

I have a lot of favorite covers...

Live and Let Die by GN'R is one of my favorites. They did it well.

They did it okay, I mean it sounded almost exactly the same. But Axl's voice sounds like and old, shaky man when he does the 'what does it matter to you' part
