Nailed it.

I like STP's version of Dancing Days better than Led Zep's.

The Band - Atlantic City ( Boss cover)


i didn't want to shite on this right away, so i listened to it first.

so now i can shite on it. that is awful and does not do justice to the original, IMO. If you want a more country(ish) twang version of the song, just listen to Bruce with the Sessions Band do the song. now this is a good "cover" of the original.

Did anyone mention "All along the watchtower"?
Hendrix version > Dylan

"Diamonds and Rust"
Judas Priest version >>>> Joan Baez

Off the top of my head. I know there's tons more.

"No Quarter"
Led Zeppelin version is still > Tool but only by the slightest of margins...that Tool version is VERY good. I almost am willing to say tie here.

Everyone mentions Hurt by JC, I think these two were better than Hurt:

I agree, hard to do a better job than Springsteen...

I do think Crooked Fingers do The River justice, but the boss' version is the definitive one...
