I'm also partial to Cream's cover of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads". Some blues purists didn't like it, but it brought RJ to a whole new audience.
BTW, in terms of songs released vs. number of covers, is there any artist who has a greater percentage of their catalogue covered than Robert Johnson? _________________ “We must always take sides.

Dylan maybe
Dylan may have been covered more in total, but not by percentage. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel
Mark Ronson's butchering of "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" -- terrible that you can mash this song and the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and reach number 2 in the UK.

I saw a band named Volbeat open for Metallica here in Toronto a few weeks back. They're from Denmark and have got a very interesting sound with metal/hard rock, punk and rockability/country influences. I had never heard of them before but I think their stuff is pretty good. The Metallica/Lamb Of God crowd seemed to dig them too.
Anyway, they did a cover of an old Hank Williams song called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" which has gotten heavy play in my stereo. It has a country intro but then starts rockin'! It doesn't look like they released the song so this isn't an official video but the audio is here. I think it's cool -- what do you guys think?

CCR's cover of "Heard it through the grapevine" was quite tasty...
I like CCR's "Night Time Is The Right Time", but there wasn't much they couldn't make their own if they tried.
I like Plant's (The Honeydrippers) version of Sea Of Love. Sublime original.
CCR is my vote for the most underrated rock band of all time. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel
