Inspired by hearing a truelly painful version of "Mr Blue Sky" by Lily Allen - i wont post a link, its so awful - and i was wondering what you guys would say are your favourite covers of songs. Spaghetti Incident not included obviously. I'd like to see choices where the band has tried to give something new to the song, but whatever floats your boat...

Tool - No Quarter (Led Zep)

Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Bobby Dylan)

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCwCBh0z3Hs[/youtube]

The White Stripes - Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (Errm, Burt Bacharach??)

Rodrigo y Gabriella - Stairway (Zep)

All Along the Watchtower and Just Don't Know What to do With Myself are a couple of my favorites too.

I also like these:

Knocked Up performed by Lykke Li, the live version.

The tool cover is good. One of my favourite Zep songs.

I enjoyed this immensely.... especially the wall of nuclear holocaust noise at the end:

I saw it played the next night when a stoned Paul McCartney wandered on stage to duet and wave his arms about. It was the greatest event of my life.

I love the original, but when the girlfriend blasts Lily's cover I actually turn it up...it isn't so bad. No every day a pop poppet covers ELO.
