Default Best rock covers of all time
I know that this might sparkk some friendly debate but I am curioous to see what people think are some of the greates covers in rock history. For instance, Joe Cocker cover "A Little Help From My Friends" and knocked it out of the park. Several years ago Korn cover "One" by Metallica on VH1 or MTV's ICONS show and you could have stopped the show after their rendition.

I guess it would also be interesting to know what everone thinks are the worst covers. I am a Van Halen fan but would be perfectly if I don't have to ever listen to their cover of "Dancin' In The Streets" again.

What do you thik are the best and worst?

When I listened to this on youtube, I definitely regretted it within 30 seconds. Still don't know what possessed me to watch the whole thing...guess I was hoping it would get better since it couldn't have gotten worse (or so I thought). Unfortunately it did right after the guitar solo.

Shoulda heeded your warning, Peter.

Just today I listened to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Wt3...eature=related
Close enough to a cover for me. I listen to so much music I couldn't narrow a favorite cover though.

Here's a couple more:

Simple Man-Shinedown
Smooth Criminal-Alien Ant Farm
American Pie-Madonna

A lot of people probably don't like the Smooth Criminal and American Pie covers, but I liked them.
