I think Patti Smith's cover of Van Morrison's "Gloria" deserves mention here.
The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper. — Friedrich Nietzsche
The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists — that is why they invented hell. — Bertrand Russell

I'd vote for Faith No More's version of War Pigs.

When I was young, Joe Cocker's "Get By with a Little Help", no question.

When I was a bit older, the Bangles "Hazy Shade of Winter".

Lately, though, Johnny Cash's "Hurt".

I'm very sympathetic to Cake's "I Will Survive", but only because it makes me laugh.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

:rolleyes: One vote for Elvis' cover of Willie Mae Thornton's 'Hound Dog'. Honorable mention for the Beatles covers of Chuck Berry's 'Roll Over Beethoven' and Buck Owens 'Act Naturally' with Ringo on the vocal. Also, Creedence Clearwater's cover of 'SuzieQ'.

Do you know the most covered song of all time?

Isnt it' Yesterday' by Macca?

I think one of those: The Star-Spangled Banner, La Marseillaise, God save the Queen or Das Deutschlandlied
