Favorite cover?

As a (minor) film buff, I almost invariably prefer originals. But when it comes to audio, I  have found more than a few covers that I prefer to the originals. So, to kick things off, and with all due respect to Boz Scaggs, I absolutely LOVE this live Incognito version of Lowdown:

Speaking of Rickie Lee Jones... I love her cover of Steely Dan's Show Biz Kids.

Where to start...oh yes, Aaron Neville's "Everyone Plays the Fool", "It Feels Like Rain", well, the entire "Warm Your Heart" album is a sonic treasure trove!
Another surprise for me was the "Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles" from about '93. A Who's Who of country stars of the time do a bang-up job on a selection of Eagles toons. Clint Black on "Desperado" stands out as does Vince Gills take on "I Can't Tell You Why". All quite well executed both creatively and technically.
