What are THE best cover versions of songs, in ANY music genre?

[bluzman61]

Some of THE best, IMHO, are "All Along The Watchtower", by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Mr. Tambourine Man", by the Byrds, "Dancing In The Street" and "Oh, Pretty Woman", by Van Halen, and "Blue Bayou", "It's So Easy", and "When Will I Be Loved", by Linda Ronstadt.

I like these threads bluz -
Wow, SO many great covers.
This one is from Maddie Poppe - American Idol winner several years back.
Did I already post under your Love Song thread? Hey, I'm old.
Brian Wilson tune .. easily one of the best pop tunes ever written.
Even Paul McCartney agrees.
My daughter and I met Brian on Maui around 2007.
He's a childhood idol. Invited us to sit down with his family and shared his bottle of wine. SO nice.
Also, if you get a chance, rent or stream "Love & Mercy" with John Cusack about Brian's life.
Anyway .. Enjoy!
