I liked Whiskey in the Jar from Thin Lizzy, just their version of a centuries-old folk song.
Their lead singer just kills it.

I love me some Phil Lynott. (Emerald is still one of my favorite songs - especially the live version). No pretty video, but I found the sound on this version better and some good audience sing-a-long.

and if that isn't enough Whiskey in the Jar for you, here is U2 doing it with the only remarkable thing about it being the audience singing.
