"Hang your heads in shame .....You're all wrong.....
The correct answer is....
Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"  "
He actually covered John Cale's version of 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen |

I know she wrote it, Judy Collins was the first to record it, so it's still considered a cover |

I'm gonna echo a few that have already been said:
Hendrix - all along the watchtower
Shinedown - simple man
Disturbed - sound of silence
I disagree with the Metallica version of whiskey in the jar though, I much prefer Thin Lizzy's version. |

Whiskey In The Jar by Thin Lizzy was a cover version anyway, as it was a traditional tune to start with  |

Oh yeah, and by far the best cover in my opinion! I can't listen to the Metallica cover, it disappoints me! |

Can you do a cover version of your own song? When Burt Bacharach plays live is he just doing cover versions of other artists' interpretations of his songs? Is Bruce Springsteen's version of Because the Night a cover of Patti Smith's (he does sing her lyrics live now though)? Genuine question, not being arsey! |

Yes, I think you can.
Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U and gave it away to one of his bands. Once Sinead O'Connor had the massive hit with it, he started performing it, even calling it her song.

Some good shouts
Nick Cave is just a brilliant interpreter of other people's songs. His version of 'wanted man' (written by Dylan for Johnny cash I think) is amazing as is his cover of Leonard cohens 'Avalanche' (even Cohen himself thought it was better). And of course his album of cover versions 'Kicking against the pricks' is mostly awesome.

"Eva Cassidy....Songbird.
"
Glad someone mentioned Eva Cassidy I don't think I could choose her best cover. Fields of gold (sting) , somewhere over the rainbow (Judy garland) , imagine (John lennon) are all up there but for me her best cover is wonderful world (Louis Armstrong) especially as she chose it to be her final song she ever sung.
An honourable mention had to go to Johnny Cash and hurt (nine inch nails) and sinead o'connor nothing compares to you (prince) |

My personal favourite is The Housemartins' - Caravan of Love (Originally by Isley Brothe Isley), but a very close second would be Skinhead O'Conner doing Princes - Nothing Compares... especially is you watch the video whilst listening to it.

Stagger Lee from Glastonbury in 2013 was epic! We were on the opposite side of the stage to white dress girl, unfortunately!
