What would you say.....ya do here?
Rod Stewart knocked Tom Wait's Downtown Train out of the park.
A Certain Girl - A 1980 AOR Hit - was/is a rare Warren Zevon track of which he did not write. Nevertheless, it's an awesome song.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

The answer to all cover song questions is Aretha's "Respect".

Similar for me how the Black Crowes’ “Hard to Handle” led me to check out the catalog of Otis Redding beyond “Dock of the Bay”.Originally Posted by BuckeyeRed27

Marie Laforet's version of Paint it Black.
No, I don't know French.
Yes, the first time I heard it was Talladega Nights...
Francesca Michielin - L'amore esiste was covered by Amy Lee as Love Exists. Both versions are fantastic, but I do not speak Italian.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Powderfinger by The Beatfarmers is better than Neil’s original. I also like Smashing Pumpkins version of Landslide better than Fleetwood Mac’s.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
So much this. Greatest cover ever, hands down.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch that’s over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.”

His Name is Alive did two absolutely perfect covers: Big Star’s “Blue Moon” and Rainbow’s “Man on the Silver Mountain.”
CCR’s “Heard It Through the Grapevine” is the best version of that song.
Come’s cover of “I Got the Blues” is A1.
And speaking of The Rolling Stones, l’ve always preferred Devo’s “Satisfaction.”
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
Rod Stewart made Tom's version almost unlistenable. And Patty Smyth tried it before Rod- not good.

Jimi's version was epic, and is still the gold standard. My next favorite version is by Dave Matthews.
As for Jimi, might as well add Hey Joe and Star Spangled Banner to the list.

The young man does an admirable job with this cover, if you ask me.
