(What a) Wonderful world.. Ramones. Play this at my funeral please.

Robbie Williams, Freedom. . Ltitle remembered, but post take that this was his first effort solo, rip George Michael
8) I had a works conference in Liverpool back in 1996 (or thereabouts, when I was still a corporate bod) and we had The Mike Flowers Pops perform live. They were brilliant.
I always thought that Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Helter Skelter was always one of the few covers of Beatles songs that was better than the original, certainly beats Oasis's rather average version. Then I found this live performance on YouTube https://youtu.be/szPQCvJ8MPg. Wow
The doors cover of Alabama Song. The 1930s original by Lotte Lenya is more creepy than those Smirnoff Ice Judderman adverts but I love the Doors version.

Agreed. Although I do have a soft spot for the Motley Crue version as well.
I suppose from a success / monetary perspective the Marvin Gaye cover of Gladys Knights "Heard It Through The Grapevine" would be up there.
Still prefer the Gladys version myself.
I know Punk bands already covered almost any song but I really do believe that Yellowcard did a great job with "Everywhere" ... obviously miles better than the original from Michelle Branch.
The Iron and Wine cover of the Postal Service's Such Great Heights is fantastic. The Gregory Alan Isakov cover of Iron and Wine's The Trapeze Singer is astonishing:
Mastadon do a good cover of Stairway, but it isn't better than Led Zep. Same with Wolfmother doing Baba O'Reilly, it's brilliant but The Who do it better.

Anyone unsure what 33/45 is about please ask your parents.
It is 2019 you know so for some it should be 'Anyone unsure what 33/45 is about please ask your grandparents.'

Apologies in advance but I felt that as I had suffered this so should the rest of the world......
Still prefer the Gladys version myself.

Much better than the original by SOS
The Gregory Alan Isakov cover of Iron and Wine's The Trapeze Singer is astonishing:
As mentioned previously, IMHO, the Johnny Cash version of Hurt is probably the best cover I have heard.
Orange Blossom Special has been covered many times but this version by Michael Cleveland is astounding in the level of skill required:
Yeeeeeee-ha!

An early Elbow offering.
I think in this instance Marvin Gaye was second.
