I like Pat Benatar's take on this one.

There are some songs that are recorded only for that moment so that when you play them later they don't sound good, but a good hit record sounds good the day it's released and twenty years later :)

This particular cover track would have to be in my top two all time favorites, the second video / song was done to raise money towards a cancer research center and I'm pretty sure they raised something like $54 million.

Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails is allways a favorite in covers threads

I have watched that clip over and over

how do you post a youtube video again ?

I would have listed zoot - too. Legend has it that Paul McCartney said that it was the best version and he'd heard. Probably just being polite. Another Lennon-McCartney cover I like

Whilst I note above the cover by Springsteen, one of Springsteen's lesser known tunes was covered in the 70's a became a classic prog-rock hit.

And let's not forget that Fleetwood Mac tune made legendary by Santana

But of course lets not another classic by Al Green

Ok that's it for me - lest I dump half my itunes menu :D
