No

The vocal is terrible

But props on not only having heard of The Flamin' Groovies, but actually having heard them

Do you honestly believe that is better* than Del Shannon? I like it, but even I wouldn't say it's better.

Eric Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff
I don't think it's "better" than Marley's, but just as good in its own way.

ETA: I also enjoy Johnny Cash's cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage." Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage

I'm a big, big fan of The Cure. The Deftones version of If Only Tonight We Could Sleep (live at MTV Icon) is absolutely fantastic.

Tiny guy had a potent, heavy sound. Lush, wide, deep, and was a fully formed classical musician.

He also banged Debbie Harry.

He also wrote Sheer Heart Attack, mocking the attack Queen received from the punks, and was well received by the punks.

I've always like The Band/Helm's Atlantic City better than Bruce's

A lot of people have covered Look at Miss Ohio, but I think I like Blitzen Trapper's version the best
