I also think that "Microphone Fiend"(Fun Lovin Criminals) by Rage againt the Machine is pretty good, but I absolutely love the original.

 

And if you havent heard Fun Lovin Criminials cover of "Crazy Train" you should give it a listen, its great. Of course I am biased because I love the band. :)

yeye?

They also do very funny covers of Peter Frampton's "Show Me The Way" and Neil Young's "Lotta Love".

I would stop this sentence here:

"i absolutely loathe clapton"

Here's another vote for Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of "Little Wing," originally by Hendrix. The cover is just transcendent. I love it.

I agree, no one will ever play like SRV.

Believe it or not, Sting did a solid version of 'Little Wing ' too.

The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana (David Bowie)

"It Ain't Me, Babe" --Johnny Cash & June Carter

I'm sorry, um, what? Are those words?

I think he likes whatever song he is talking about that was made by a lyricist named Nas.

Stereotyperider's version of Jumping Someone Else's Train by The Cure is fantastic.

"Imagine" by A Perfect Circle, and this is coming from a Beatles/Lennon purist. I like the cover.

Every Dread Zepplin tune . . . Black Dog is particularly sweet.
