    Dredging this thread up because the XM spit out at me the forgotten and made-of-post-grunge-and-win cover of Baker Street by the Foo Fighters. Love the original, love the cover for different reasons.

    Had no idea. Great song. My personal favorite is Dwight Yoakam's version.

    I heard "Alone Again Or" by the Damned on XM and really liked it. I didn't realize it was a cover of a Love song at first. The original is better. Really great song.

    I, for one, object to Ring of Fire being called a chestnut, but maybe that's just me.

    Doesn't UB40 exist because of this thread title?

    Yoakam's version would be my call. For my money it's the best cover ever of an Elvis song.

    To E Street's list I'd add Springsteen's cover of "Quarter To Three" by Gary U.S. Bonds.

    I like "It's My Life" (Talk, Talk and No Doubt)

    both versions are great.

    The best cover of Little Queenie was done by REO Speedwagon, believe it or not.
