What is your favorite cover?

There are many great covers, such as Mr. Tambourine Man,by the Byrds. I'm curious about everyone's favorite.

There are some people whose voice I like a lot, but, when they cover favorite songs, it almost hurts to hear the travesty. The ultimate one woman wrecking crew for me is Linda Ronstadt: "Alison" (Elvis Costello) "Carmelita" and "Hasten Down the Wind" (and a whole bunch of other Zevon songs) "Blue Bayou" (Orbison)
