Here's one, originally from Simon & Garfunkel, which I think we all know to start us off.

And PLEASE, when you post, give a mention as to who did the original

Love this thread! Have to contribute a few:

The Scabs covering Neil Young

Green Day covering The Who

I think this is my all-time favorite cover:

Levon Helm covering Bruce

 

[ScottinPollock]

Possibly the best cover I've heard... from the last days of the Dave Letterman show.

Another from the last days of Letterman... love John's guitar riffs here.

For those of you who enjoyed the OP, the first time I saw Disturbed ( I'm not a metal guy) was on Conan. I think that live performance was quite a bit better than the studio version.

@ ScottinPollock -
Awesome version, electrifying. Thanks.
(They also did a great rendition of it on UK TV, very similar to this 'Conan' one.)

Have a listen to this Cranberries song. Very powerful and very poignant as well.

Posted one yesterday and a fantastic one a while ago. Here's another (most I know prefer it to the Depeche Mode original).

This one is a bit sweeter than the original.

Ok last one for now... kind of a half cover as the original band is performing it. But... IMO, the lovely Joss Stone breathes new life into it.

Thanks for that one. Big STP fan, but Joss is on a whole different level. Very cool.

Oh and this one, possibly one of the best.

It was written and first recorded by Bob Dylan.
