I only listen to the second disc because it's a re-release of Garage Days Re-Re-Visited. I didn't much care for the first disc.

 

[RubberDuk]

I like 'Astronomy' on Garage Inc.

Also: Turisas - Rasputin

 

[Ingo]

Hmmm....


I would have to say Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's 'Mr. Bojangles' is probably my all-time favorite cover.

Alison Krauss singing Bad Company's 'Oh Atlanta' is up there too.

 

[Jasper994]

Right at this moment: Elvis Costello - My Funny Valentine

Oh, and I can't leave out: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Over the Rainbow

[krmathis]

Hard to choose, so I list three cover songs that I like very much:
"Call Off The Search" - Katie Melua
"Global House" - Øystein Sevåg
"Khmer" - Nils Petter Molvær

 

[Comfy]

The White Stripes - Death Letter

 

[bowraboy]

Jimmy Little's "Messenger" is a cover album of great songs from some off Australia's best artists.

Every one of these tracks is done so well I think they are better than the originals.
