In Response To: One of Life's Most Important Questions (Stick)

All Along the Watchtower is of course the standout of this "genre", but it's by far the exception rather than the norm. I will never understand the people who actually like covers (yes, they do exist). Some of them may even be reading this board. Ugh.

High Fidelity Top 5:

5. Tainted Love (Gloria Jones / Soft Cell)
4. You Shook Me (Muddy Waters / Led Zeppelin)
3. Respect (Otis Redding / Aretha Franklin)
2. Crossroads (Robert Johnson / Cream)
1. All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan / Jimi Hendrix)

Some more candidates:

Mad World (from Donnie Darko) (Tears for Fears / Gary Jules)

I like both of these. Hard to go against TFF.

In no particular order, loosely organized by decade.

Hound Dog (Big Mama Thornton / Elvis Presley)

Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins / Elvis Presley)

Last Kiss (Wayne Cochran / J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers

Twist and Shout (Top Notes / The Beatles)

Me and Bobby McGee (Kris Kristofferson / Janis Joplin)

Blinded by the Light (Bruce Springsteen / Manfred Mann's Earth Band)

Der Komissar (Falco / After the Fire)

Cum on Feel the Noize (Slade / Quiet Riot)

The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie / Nirvana)
