Knockin' on Heavens door by Guns n' Roses has got to be THE track to max out yer equipment.
It is also an excellent cover too!

Best Remakes Of All Time
Another good choice is "Battleship Chains" originally by The Woods and later superbly covered by both The Georgia Satellites and Hindu Love Gods. Similarly, the Satellites do a killer version of "Hippy Shake" and the Hindu Love Gods cover "Wang Dang Doodle" to great effect. Marty A related curiosity. "Money Changes Everything", a song by an obscure alt. rock band called The Brains became a hit when covered by Cyndi Lauper. Now it seams that everyone (punk to country) does a version - varying in quality as much as you'd guess. One or more might qualify here, depending on your taste. iTunes has something like 25 versions for sale. |
I love this version of Honky Tonk Women I know this is a bit off the beaten path but it is darn impressive. However the Greatest Cover of ALL TIME has to be THIS version of the famous Swedish hit. |
Dune does a great job of this Queen classic...very haunting voice. A rare but good one. Also I like Tom Petty version of Thirteen Days (JJ Cale Song) |
