I'll always prefer CSNY's cover of "Woodstock" to Joni's, which is saying a lot for me.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

gasp! No!
Me, too, Amy!
gasp! No!
I know! It shocks me, too. I love the song, love that she wrote, but it's one that I would rather hear them sing than her.
The Jane's Addiction cover of the Dead's "Ripple" is one of my favorite things ever.

I'd like to submit "99 Red Balloons" as covered by 7 Seconds
ooh and Miles Davis doing "Time after Time" by Cyndi Lauper.
Speaking of bad covers... The Cure's cover of "Foxy Lady" is pretty awful....
I like the Brothers Johnson's version of "Strawberry Letter #23" better than I like Shuggie Otis'.

ION, I try to rate most of my songs in iTunes, and I just noticed what might be my highest-rated album. Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music, which I've given five stars to all but two songs (the last two tracks). Those two songs have four stars. So I've given that album an average rating of 4.8 stars. For me, This Is Our Music is very close to a perfect album.
Now I want to write a script that will calculate the average rating of all my albums....
