The Sex Pistols just effing around warming up for demo tracks with old covers they used to do, Johnny Rotten having forgotten half the lyrics. What a killer tight, balls out young band in their prime:
Pete Seeger's Turn,Turn,Turn by the Bryds
Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower
Marvin Gaye's I Heard It Through the Grapevine [it was a huge hit for Gladys Knight the year before]
Both Turn, Turn, Turn and I Heard It Through the Grapevine hit #1. All three of these song were totally original and, IMO, brilliant makeovers of the originals.

India Arie's cover of Don Henley's Heart of the Matter.
One of my all time favorite songs, I loved the remake almost as much as the original. Lyrics are sensational, that definitely helps any cover.

Not saying it’s the BEST cover ever by any means... but I love this one.

Wouldn’t consider this the greatest cover ever, I love the energy these youngsters bring to their performance and they actually do a real solid job.
