good and bad cover versions

What are the best/worst cover versions you know?

For me - on the bad front, Florence/Machine 'You Got The Love' drains all the soul from the Candi Staton original.

On the good front, controversially, although I much prefer Motown to the Beatles', nevertheless, their John Lennon-vocal version of 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' moves me even more than the Miracles' original.

Over to you....

The one that makes my ears bleed is 'Walking in Memphis' both original by Marc Cohn and the cover version by Cher please make it stop. I would rather watch Stoke play than listen to this track, I have also been known to club radio's to death when this is played.

I am with Twitter's on the Happy Monday's one, superb and also Live and Let Die and Knockin on Heavens Door by Guns n Roses superb cover versions
