Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar

 

The definitive version to me, and yes I've heard The Dubliners' version.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go - Living Colour (The Clash)

 

And

Memories can't wait - Living Colour (Talking Heads) - improves greatly on the TH version imo. Like THs but that's not a fave song of theirs for me.

 

Yep, agree.

I think the Living Colour versions of Back In Black (AC/DC) and Tomorrow Never Knows (The Beatles) from the Colleoscope album are good too. Preachin' Blues (Robert Johnson), and the other covers from the Shade album is good also.
