If I had to choose a favorite cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhaspody, it would be a tie between the covers done by both “Weird Al Yankovic” & The Braids. Although the former is moreso performed as a gag song, I’m still counting it as a cover.

Never an easy task, especially if the original’s a classic to begin with, but I’ve always found Talking Heads cover of “Take Me To The River” to be absolutely superb. They made it theirs. Honorable Mentions: Come Together (Aerosmith) Africa (Weezer) Spooky (ARS) Ballroom Blitz (Crucial Taunt)
I can't pick *one* so I'm not sure this is my *favorite*, but I've been a little obsessed with Cigarettes After Sex lately and I think I might, *might* actually prefer this to the Radiohead original even though I seem to remember it bouncing off me the very first time I heard it.
Name your fav song from a feature length cartoon. (Is it my absolute favorite? Eh, i don't know but it's a swingin' number and some fun deranged animation.)
My favorite album by my favorite band is a collection of Vic Chestnutt songs. They also handle Townes Van Zandt quite well
So many good ones - "Brand New Key" by Rasputina, "First We Take Manhattan" by R.E.M., "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, "Hurt" by Johnny Cash... but I'm basic (affectionate) and the cover I listen to most often is "Blinded By the Light" by Mannfred Mann's Earth Band. youtu.be/pqTE1JvI-mE?...
Since it's still his birthday until Midnight Eastern tonight, here's one of John Mellencamp's that I absolutely love.
Toni Lidgren - Buckets of Rain This is the only cover of a Dylan song that's better than the original. youtu.be/fmw-EWVmolc?...
Quiet Drive’s cover of Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time will forever be one of my all time favorite cover songs
"Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing", by Tori Kelly, which was originally sang by Stevie Wonder! ^^
Brass Against featuring Sophia Urista, covering Wake Up by RATM.
That’s very tough. Lots of good covers out there. But… Dan Avidan has the voice of an angel and he did this song better than original artists A-ha themselves did. youtu.be/fCe2bTtKCJg

I can go so many places with this but I’ll choose… The Cardigans “Iron Man” (1996): youtu.be/Zb7IpfOzon4?...
Apocalyptica's cover of Heroes (only it's called Helden because it's sung in German)
