Naturally, Jimi Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" is one of the best.

The Byrds' awesome cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man"
The Doors' cover of Kurt Weill's "Alabama Song"
Led Zeppelin's cover of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (I don't remember the original artist)
David Bowie's cover of Iggy Pop's "China Girl"
Deep Purple's cover of "Hush" (again, don't know the original artist)
Guns N' Roses' cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"
Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter"

NOT Van Halen covering You Really Got Me by The Kinks.

I loath that cover with intensity.

I like it until those stupid moaning voices come in. Something tells me that was Lee Roth's idea, and it sucks.

Dream Theater takes delight in covering whole albums during live shows. How is it that you don't know this?

No because they played the boring new stuff when I saw them live.

Iced Earth tribute album was alright, I fucking love Blue Oyster Cult, or at least I used to but I just don't like that album as much as other covers, usually covers make me feel like I'm listening to the song again for the first time because it's new but that album didn't do that for me.

Speaking of BOC, they have a cool cover of "Born to Be Wild." I have it as an extra track on Secret Treaties.

I own the album, one of the few albums I actually bought

Listening to David Gilmore's solo project "cover" of Arnold Layne (with David Bowie) off of Arnold Layne EP. I love listening to this, sounds so awesome.

Um...their cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door is infinitely better. Their Sympathy for the Devil cover really isn't all it's cracked up to be, or even all that different from the original. Just louder and with shittier vocals.

I don't care what anyone says, if a song is covered thats originally done by Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden did it better.

"Sweet Loaf", the Butthole Surfers' semi-cover of Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf".
Devo's cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction".
The Clash's cover of the Bobby Fuller Four's "I Fought the Law".
The Dead Kennedys' cover of "Viva Las Vegas". I don't know who wrote it, but who the fuck cares.
Dinosaur Jr.'s cover of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven".

I never said it was better, I still think the original is better. I was just saying that I like the cover, too.
