[DisillusionedPatriot]

YouTube - Joe Cocker - A Little Help From My Friends - Woodstock 1969

This is the worst cover of all time. The best is Twist and Shout by the Beatles. (Originally written by Phil Medley and Bert Burns; famously covered by Isley Brothers.)

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Definitely better than the rolling stones original

 

[eduardo89]

Good choice Tim. But I prefer the Cat Power version.

 

[pacelli]

Originally by the Ramones...

Here's Children of Bodom.... with..... 'something in my drink'

 

[VBRonPaulFan]

great thread!

 

[Jesse Penny]

Playing for Change - Stand by Me

 

[eduardo89]

One of the best covers ever. Eric Clapton does "I Shot the Sheriff"

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Two covers of the same song that are way better than the original:

Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Black Tears



Heaven Shall Burn - Black Tears

 

[Dieseler]

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty


Here's the Foo Fighters takin' the piss with Baker Street unfortunately.

I know it's not The best Cover ever but I had to throw Baker Street out there in tribute to the genius of Gerry Rafferty.
He passed away last year I believe.

Got a special lady?
Let her know with,
Right Down the Line by Gerry Rafferty
