Great Cover Versions

[Maverick Goose]

Also enjoyed Ryan [not to be confused with Bryan] Adams' version of Wonderwall by Oasis-quite a contrast to the original. You can find it on Love Is Hell[it also featured in the OC if you remember that].

I gave Love Is Hell away, was hugely dissapointed in it. If I remember correctly Lost Highway his label at the time were also less than impressed refusing to release the album for a long time. Love his earlier solo work though and Whiskeytown.

[Andy in Sig]

All along the watchtower by Jimi Hendrix must be one of the best covers ever.

Another great Dylan cover is
Like a rolling stone by the Rolling Stones from their Stripped album

Agreed. Also Spirit's version of the same track is simply inspired.
The Yardbirds' version of My Girl Sloopy.
The Animals version of Boom Boom (a John Lee Hooker track), poss the best dose of high energy ever recorded.
And I agree with Flying Monkey about Eric Burdon doing River Deep Mountain High.
