Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower" by a mile. Even Dylan changed his way of performing it after Jimi.
Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," is another winner.

Song covers that are better than the originals
I was listening to Billy Idol's cover of LA Woman, and I thought to myself that his version is way better than the original. So I thought I'd post a few covers that I enjoy more than the originals and see what others can add. My top five in no particular order:
LA Woman - Billy Idol
Just a Gigolo - David Lee Roth
Feelin Alright - Joe Cocker
Roll Over Beethoven - The Beatles
MacArthur Park - Donna Summer

"Smoke on the Water" by a Japanese orchestra. Heard Deep Purple do it live once (terrible), but like this version. Not kidding (give it time to get going). I also collect Koto music, which is how I ran across it. Smoke on the Water |
