Cover Songs, your Favorite

It seems that everytime I hear PJ do a new cover I always think to myself that they play it better then the original artist. Right now I can stop playing the cover of Mother from the Jimmy Fallon show, the show was months ago but I can't stop playing it. With that said what is your favorite cover song that PJ has played?

    I just have to jump in and say that Eddie singing this has nothing on Floyds version but I do like it all the same.

    The cover I most enjoy is Jeff Buckley doing Strange Fruit.

    It's Ok by Dead Moon is my favourite :)
    Many bands have covered Rockin In The Free World but I think only PJ can top the original.

    Masters of War from the Bob Dylan tribute still is the best imo, but I love hearing Eddie sing "The Ship Song." It's so surprising, and I love Nick Cave.

    I agree on masters of war. I must have played that song 500 times in the car back in the day. We'd sing our heads off with all the windows down. He really belts them out in that version. Once we were mid-singing at the top of our lungs and some guy pulled up next to us and joined in. He drove off when the light turned green and just yelled 'edddiiiieeeeee'...I will never forget that. Funny what we remember.

    I first heard timless melody in 2000 Saratoga and thought it was amazing. It probably was 5 years later I heard the La's play it in an interview on youtube..can't believe' i'm saying this but wow it's better. They own that song.

    Love this song. And I, too, first heard it from Saratoga 2000 (from the boot though; I didn't attend). And I must say I am the proud owner of The La's on vinyl. It's a shame that Lee Mavers was a typical English prick that was never satisfied with anything, because that album rules from start to finish. Would've loved to've heard more of them.

    That's an original PJ tune. But an amazing song nonetheless.

    Win, win and win.

    Heard Timeless Melody at my first ever show (Manchester 2000), but didn't know the song back then. Love listening to that bootleg now.

    And Mother is one of the many, many highlights on the South American boots.
