Best rock cover songs, list your favorites

Stormy Monday - Allman Brothers, for sure, also, Albert King w/Stevie Ray Vaughan

Mystery Train - Junior Wells

Big Log - Viktor Krauss (vocals by Alison)

That's All Right - Paul McCartney

What about the Beatles' cover of "La Bamba" (renamed "Twist and Shout")?

Aretha's version of Bridge over troubled water.
Or anything else she does,

A coupla oddball additions worth hearing:

Richard Thompson (monster guitarist) covering Britney Spears' "Oops, I did it Again".

Marshall Crenshaw (indie singer/songwriter) covering ABBA's "Knowing Me, Knowing You".

On a different note, I just picked up Todd Rundgren's Johnson - a CD of Robert Johnson covers. I saw him do this live and thought it worked pretty well. I was surprised to find that I like the CD even more than the live show. Definitely worth checking out if you like hard, crunching, electric blues guitar as channeled thru a player with a tremendous innate melodic gift.

Maybe I'm growing too cantakerous, but I find these Old, Musically Barren Rock Star Makes Covers Album exercises to be really dreary. Rod Stewart, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, even Glen freakin' Frey. Last really good one I hear was PinUps by David Bowie, which dates back to 1973.
