Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends

Great call. He also did a great version of The Letter originally done by The Box Tops in '67

 

"Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane

Ain't got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home

My baby, just-a wrote me a letter"

 

That song

Ramones - I Don't Want to Grow Up (Tom Waits)

 

Cheap Trick - Ain't That a Shame (Fats Domino)

 

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - Crimson and Clover (Tommy James and The Shondells)

 

Acid Eaters is a great covers album by Ramones. Cali Sun, Surfin Bird and Time Has Come Today are good ones as well.

The Beatles - "Long Tall Sally"

 

Sloppy rock and roll with energy and enthusiasm.

I happen to be listening to Pisces Iscariot right now so I have to mention Landslide and Girl Named Sandoz by Smashing Pumpkins.

VH were always great at covers.

 

Bowie has many interesting covers.

 

Oh actually I like Bowie's Let's Spend The Night Together better than the original. He completely changes the tone of the song without losing what makes it great.

I love Monster Magnet. They've had a few great covers. I'll add...

 

Sin's A Good Man's Brother- Grand Funk Railroad

There's No Way Out Of Here- David Gilmour

2000 Light Years From Home- Rolling Stones

 

X2 on Young Man Blues from the Who. They absolutely shredded it.

Love Angelique Kidjo. She does a cool version of Voodoo Chile, too.
