now that we went over covers that outshine the originals, how about covers that you didn't think a band would be able to pull off, but turned out really well.

9/03/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 1
9/04/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 2
Top 3:
Lenny Kravitz doing American Woman (Guess Who)
Johnny Cash doing Hurt (NIN)
Heart/LoveMongers doing Battle of Evermore (Led Zep)
Just my opinion...
Upon hearing they were going to do those songs, I was like NO WAY...
When I heard those songs...well, arguably all 3 are as good, if not better than, the originals. I'm sure I'll get creamed for Heart over Zep, but the sis' harmony, especially live, is as good as it gets...:)

The Flaming Lips covering Neil Young, I was surprised, because I didn't follow the band.

Paramore covering Loretta Lynn, I think it's cute.
