Cohen is brilliant, but Buckley's version is even better. His voice is pretty spectacular.

Lots of great ones here. I would add Red Hot Chilli Peppers Higher Ground, The Beatles Twist and Shout, Long Tall Sally, Lennon's Stand by Me, and the Doors Alabama Song and Gloria.

Absolutely.

Who originally did "Alabama Song"? Also, haven't heard Lennon's "Stand," but how could it possibly top King's?

While I won't say that is band puts out ones that beat the originals, They do put out a lot of great ones. I'll post one of their better ones then link off to a bunch of others in case you like the sound -

Is this the Beatles' "heaviest" song?



Or maybe "Helter Skelter"?

If all their songs were done by Motley and Aerosmith, I might appreciate the Beatles more.

It was taken from a Brecht/Weiss musical. I just like Lennon's singing on it a bit better.

Yes, better than the LZ version.  Listen to the end - vocals soar...



Oh, to go through all of Jeff's covers.

Maybe sacrilege but I like Molly Hatchets version of ''Dreams" better then the Allmans.
Skynyrds version of ''Call me the Breeze" over JJ.Cale
Claptons version of "Cocaine" over JJ.Cale
