That'll be The Wedding Present's take on 'What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted' then...

Too many to mention, but how about...

P.P Arnold - The First Cut Is The Deepest

Originally by Cat Stevens

Simply beatiful

As the Worst Cover Version has undergone a renaissance recently, I thought I would drag up this thread (to be honest I wasn't sure it existed, but I deduced that it would.) That and I was listening to Hurt by Johnny Cash.

Some of mine

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Hurt - Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails)
The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana (David Bowie)
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix (Bob Dylan)
I fought the Law - The Clash (Sonny Curtis and the Crickets)

A few of my favourite covers:

Pixies - Winterlong (Neil Young)
St Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Neil Young)
Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
The Specials - A Message To You Rudy (Dandy Livingstone)

the WHITE STRIPES - DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

I'm liking The Killers version of Shadowplay (by Joy Division). Well maybe not now it's on the fragrance comercial with Jude Law....

The Killers doing anything by Joy Division will be awful, I don't need to hear it to know that. However, I won't say for definite that I know that until I hear it.

Book of Love by Peter Gabriel is pretty immense and beautiful. The Magnetic Fields version is immense, but Peter Gabriel added something else to it.

I like this:

Placebo - Running Up That Hill

And this:

Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love
Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus

The Muppets - Bohemian Rhapsody. I think the muppets can do anything they like and it'd be awesome. And I really don't like Queen that much anyway.

Going to throw Hounds of Love by the Futureheads into the mix too, originally done by Kate Bush.

One of my favourites has always been jealous guy covered by Roxy Music, originally by John Lennon

(I can't get no) Satisfaction - Otis Redding

Seether - Careless Whisper. I've just got their last album, Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces, and its really good.

I drove all night- Cyndi Lauper amazing version of the Orbison classic

Johnny Cash- Rusty Cage Soundgarden Cover

Shine- Dolly Parton covering a Collective Soul number

Drift Away (live)- Bon Jovi- covering Dobie Grey

Cars- Fear Factory- Covering Gary Numan

and Weird Al's version of Gangster's Paradise- classic.

Worst cover ever is Ronan Keating destroying Iris by Goo Goo Dolls...or possibly that terrible Glee club version of Journey's Don't stop Believing.
They both require a flying headbutt to the groin.
