‘Johnny B Goode’ by Chuck Berry originally by Marty McFly. Awesome cover!

[gregorykrug]

I saw Bob Dylan in concert once (in DC in 1995). He said before playing that song, "I am going to play an old Jimi Hendrix song now."

[oppothumbs]

I would add Nirvana's cover of Bowie's the Man who Sold the World.

[hohaia]

Agree with the "All along the watchtower" pick. An absolutely astounding piece of artistry.

[erinkovnot]

Black Magic Woman written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac and covered by Santana.

[carlos-fvrc]

The Byrds cover of Mr Tambourine Man, and Joe Cocker’s version of With a Little Help from My Friends should be in the top 3. They are both timeless gems

[lindahaugh]

Nirvana's unplugged version of "Where did you sleep last night?" The pure soul in his voice just kills it

[jeffreyg]

I think Nazareth’s rendition of Love Hurts (Everly Brothers) is iconic in its own right.

[fredmorrison]

I always liked Joe Cockers “ With a Little Help From My Friends”

[jordanlake]

Santana’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Black Magic Woman

[unacuentadeyoutube]

The animals' 'the house of the rising sun' was actually a cover. It's a really important song in music history. It was the first riff many prestigious British guitarrist learned and changed British music forever.

[aph]

the disturbed version of the sound of silence is so haunting and beautiful

[davezeisler]

Stevie Ray Vaughan’s version of Little Wing is a masterpiece.

[iandlv]

Black Magic Woman. By Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac. Covered by Santana. Peter admitted he preferred the cover.

[tucktimosprime]

I've got a soft spot for The Bangles version of "Hazy Shade Of Winter.

[nikkijones]

Ann & Nancy Wilson singing ‘Stairway to Heaven’ at the Led Zeppelin Kennedy Centre Honours .... gets me every time I listen to it. Robert Plant’s emotional response is from the heart 💓

[jgfunk]

That Johnny Cash cover of Hurt is just downright haunting. It's almost hard for me to listen to... In a good way.

[peterhaupt]

Me and Bobby McGee—Janis Joplin owns it. Amazing!

[kmcewenguitar]

Cream's "Crossroads." One of electric guitar's finest moments.

[mrcollinsbhs]

Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light" is a wildly creative take on Springsteen's version.
