And the Indigo Girls' cover of "Uncle John's Band."
Oh, I love this one! I also love their cover of "Romeo and Juliet", but I am not sure I could say it is better than Dire Straits.
Willow ,'First Date'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I don't think I've ever heard their cover. And now I'm sitting at my desk misting up and getting weepy just thinking about the original. That right there is a song, I tell you what.
Pointer Sisters cover of Springsteen's Fire.
Issac Hayes doing "Lay Lady Lay"
I have a liking for the Corr's cover of "Dreams". At a different speed, Spiderbait's "Black Betty".
And at a very different speed, D.A.A.S. doing "Stairway To Heaven" with barry Crocker, and Rolf Harris covering "I Touch Myself".
Oh! Oh! Isaac Hayes doing "Walk On By."
The originals are awesome, but Camper Van Beethoven's versions of "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" are definitive.
Eric Clapton's acoustic version of Layla is amazing (does that count?).
I adore the Drive-By-Truckers' version of Like a Rolling Stone, a song I didn't like in the original.
Judy Collins's cover of Masters of War.
I'll always prefer CSNY's cover of "Woodstock" to Joni's, which is saying a lot for me.
