Trains version of Ramble On. The Best.

Oh man. There are so many.

I liked Word Up by korn. But I dont think I'd call it the best tho.

There was a remake of Love Shack. Damned if I can remember the name of the group who did it. But when I hear it in the car, the gas peddle hits the floor and the stereo goes to max.

I really like it. 8)

The Circle Jerks do a great cover of "Put a little love in your heart"

Also, Social Distortion's cover of "Ring of Fire"

Any of the Covers that Johnny Cash's cover's from the American Recordings. In fact, I would say that Cash's cover of "Hurt" is my my all time favorite, though I didn't care for the original, so it might not be on point.

Did you ever see that video with ZZTopp, the one where they performed alongside the ghost of Elvis? That was a cool video!

Here's a few..

Carol King "You've got a Friend"

I hear a cover version of the song "Drift Away" (early version was by Doby Grey) but I'm not sure who does it.

UB40 - "I got you babe"

Richie Havens - "Here comes the Sun"

...

Oh - can you guess the namer of the song that is the most covered in history? (easy and my last entry is a hint)
