Best Cover Versions
KharBevNor:
There is only one Medley. And that is Star One's Hawkwind Medley. Listening to it is like floating through space, only suddenly blasting into some sort of interstellar warp, and whipping through galaxies and black holes and so forth in a blast of psychedelic laser-fire, whilst playing a burning electric guitar, before slowing down, soaring past gas giants and nebulae, then speeding up again as you rocket around a sun with hordes of star-fighters on your tail, blasting you with lasers and plasma, which you then proceed to blast the crap out of with beams of pure energy shot off by playing power chords on your burning guitar, then, exhausted, floating down onto the surface of a giant alien mothership and having some sort of serious religious experience, which inspires you to play rocking solos on your guitar as the alien ship powers up and blasts off back through the cosmos with it's guns blazing randomly, only to kind of explode for no real reason, leaving you drifting off through incomparably beaitiful clouds of interstellar space debris.
And that's without any drugs.

Oh man - I highly recommend you listen to The Bad Plus's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. So, so good!
I've just heard a live cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by David Byrne......odd, but very good indeed!
And just for shits and giggles, I must include the one & only mr. Richard Cheese's version of "Insane In The Brain" by Cypress Hill.
Chymes:
Sarah Mclachlan - Dear God. totally beautiful cover.
Evergreen Terrace do some really good HXC covers
Ten Masked Men do hilarious deathmetalesque covers/sendups of Pop records.
Natalie Imburglia and Sinead O Connor got their music careers of the ground with really good covers...
Don't know if Iron & Wine or Postal Service did Such Great Heights first... but they're both amazing versions and so diverse from one another.
Counting Crows do some awesome covers live. Come Pick Me Up and Thunder Road being my favourites probably.

yeah yeah necromantic topic, but I have to say it.
Phish did not do the bluegrass cover of Gin and Juice. It was just a mislabeled mp3 that floated around on napster back in the day.

I miss Napster. It was the first place I heard Puff the Magic Dragon...I loved that little kitty logo.
