Has The Man Who Sold The World been shared? Lewl at young Dave Grohl. As a history lesson, I believe that Bowie did the original and, although I like Bowie (<3Space Oddity), the Nirvana version seems more timeless.

A couple of my favorite youtube coverers...
Mike Masse and friend with The Sound of Silence (S & G):
Karaoke, but what the hell. Juan "The Beast" Rodriguiz with White Room (Cream):
Mattrach with For the Love of God (Steve Vai) (Mat was 15 when he did this one):

Scott Weiland with The Doors doing Break On Through, STP's cover of Led Zeppelin's Dancing Days, Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads covered by Velvet Revolver are some of my favorites

In their day, I think Failure was drowned out by the likes of Bush and others. (unfortunately imo) I was floored when A Perfect Circle covered one of my favorite songs from them. I've gotta give them credit for deconstructing the song and making something completely different with it.

No cover to add but this APC cover isn't really all that odd considering it's the same guitar player as Failure.
Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed cover Dylan.
The Highwaymen (Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson, Jennings,) cover Shaver.

This is awesome. Not a professional, but kind of makes it better that way.

Would have never thought I'd see a Miley Cyrus link in here for a best cover
Search for Brandi Carlile's version of Jolene, she can actually sing. Continuing with a woman theme..
Speaking of her.
Because I love Jennifer Nettles
I'm glad to see some props for Heart doing Led Zeppelin. I ended up catching them at the Greek in August and after playing their set they came back out and played an hour of Zeppelin. They sounded fantastic.

Just because I like the original and the guitar tone on this cover sounds fucking fantastic. Vocals a bit forced in places but that's his thing.
Also, if there was a "worst cover thread", I'd have to throw up this pile of "indie" dogshitFleet Foxes Singer Robin Pecknold Covers - Video | Rolling Stone
For fuck's sake.
Throwing random people together to make a cover tune sometimes makes something amazing and sometimes makes, well, this:THE SKY I SCRAPE: Alive by Dierks Bently, Mike McCready, and The Roots
To be fair the roots were actually quite good here. A better choice at vocals and it could have been pretty cool.
