Re: Cover Versions
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower. iIn fact most people who covered a Bob Dylan song did it better than him, brilliant writer and all right singer/guitarist etc but most bands improved on his versions, with the exception of Guns and Roses Knocking on Heavens Door. (Sisters of Mercy did it much better :-))
Other very good covers include Gun's Word Up, Faith No More's War Pigs, Dickies Paranoid and the Jam's Heatwave.

Also I love his version of U2's One and, even though when I heard about it thought it was sacrilege, his version of Nick Cave's Mercy Seat.

Re: Cover Versions
I think his version of Personal Jesus is better than the original by far.
Also shows Marilyn Manson how fear really sounds.

Re: Cover Versions
Weird Al is your man for covers.
All better than originals and wet yourself funny.
Love "the Saga begins" = American Pie for Star Wars fans.
Michael Jacksons - Eat It and FAT
Amish Paradise, Pretty Fly for a Rabbi, Smells like Nirvana
And my own personal favourite "It`s all about the Pentiums Baby !"
Check `em out if you aint already.

Re: Cover Versions
I like U2's cover of Helter Skelter (Beatles); though prefer the Oasis live version.
