I would suggest Jimi Hendrix’s version of ‘All Along The Watchtower’ is the best rendition of the Dylan song

Bruce Springsteen’s cover of “This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie is my favourite cover.

My vote goes for Dave Matthews’ cover of Jimi’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’ from their ‘Live From Folsom Field’ album. Dave Matthews is such a great live performer, that couple with a change up in the sound of the song keeps me jammin’ along any day, any time.

I’ve never heard a better cover than Nirvana’s ‘Man Who Sold The World’. It’s not often a cover beats the original but even Bowie just can’t match this unpluggged classic.

There’s a group of musicians from Finland called the Lenningrad Cowboys. Long known for their tongue-in-cheek covers which always shows off their unique European-but-Friend of Russia political position of reality. Their last album entitiled “Zombie’s Paradise” is entirely made up of covers with these musical masters of arrangement acting as a lounge lizard band pushing heavy metal feel. It’s a great album but the standout cover is “Ring of Fire.” It comes from a wonderfully dark place of heavy metal drone dispair, but also combines the intended message of hope easily represented in the shining brass and back up siren chorus. Given the late master’s fondness of covers he and Rick Ruben recorded, Johnny Cash would have endorsed this interpretation. Highly recommended.

King Crimson plays Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ on stage in 2003.
I love also completely album cover of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ performed by Easy Star All Stars in reggae style (‘Dub Side of the Moon’). So cool!

Radiohead’s Nobody Does It Better is great and how about Sinead O’Connor’s version of Nothing Compares 2 U.
Last but not least, Tina Turner’s version of Whole Lotta Love. Seriously!
