So whats the best cover version? I'll kick this off with two very different takes of popular tunes.

Re: Best Cover Versions
Foo Fighters have done a cover of Band on the run which is better than the Wings version.

Re: Best Cover Versions
Another cover I love is The Killers version of Romeo and Juliet - I loved the Dire Straits original but I think this one is even more beautiful than that.
I put this link because it has a bit at the beginning where they're talking about why they did the cover
(And Officer Dibble.. Shatner is a genius, lol!)

Re: Best Cover Versions
Oh, I was also going to say Leona Lewis' version of Snow Patrol's Run.
I remember hearing her do it on The Live Lounge (a great thing to listen to if you like hearing covers with a difference) and it was beautiful and spine tingling and just fantastic. And I'm not even that keen on her. Unfortunately by the time she brought it out as a single (wondered why it never showed up on the next Live Lounge CD) they'd stripped the raw beauty and emotion from it. Hey ho.

William Shatner also did Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
