What Are Your Favorite Cover Songs?

I think Pearl Jam hits this cover of The Who's "Love, Reign O'er Me" out of the park .....

....and for those of you who like when a band "makes it their own", I submit Rage Against the Machine's cover of Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad"

Santana does great covers. My favorites:

Buddy Holly's "Well, Alright" is great.

Classic IV's "Stormy" is a favorite of mine.

and their version of the Zombies' "She's Not There" is outstanding.

I really like Everclear's version of Brown Eyed Girl, No Doubt's cover of Come on Eileen, and Opeth's magnificent cover of Remember Tomorrow by Iron Maiden. I really want to like Opeth's cover of Would? by Alice in Chains, but it sounds exactly the same as the original...

But of course, the greatest cover of all time is Jimi Hendrix's cover of The Star Spangled Banner. That's America in 3 and a half minutes right there.
