Finley Quaye's cover of "Sun is Shining" by Bob Marley.

Most definitely Death's cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller.

Judas Priest's original kicked copious amounts of ass in every way.

Then Death came along, add their own guitar solo and Chuck Schuldiner's awesome screams. I didn't think the original would ever be surpassed.

Hendrix coving "all along the watchtower"

Ok I know I might get in trouble with the next one.

Clapton covering "I shot the sherif" he adds a nice funky feel to it.

I don't know if i've said this before, but Cap'n Jazz's cover of Take On Me is sexy.
