Do we have to post YT links?

One of the worst covers of all time

Guns and Roses Sweet Child O Mine, covered by Sheryl Crow. Ugghhhh!!!

One of the best is the Johnny Cash cover mentioned here....

Tears for Fears did a pretty good cover of Radiohead's "Creep" for a while on tour

As far as Journey goes, I heard somewhere a great acoustic cover of Wheel In The Sky by Heart??

Johnny Cash's video is my favorite video of all time. Heart-wrenching, hard to watch. His daughter was interviewed and talked about how they had her view the video privately first b/c they knew how it hard it would be for her to see, and how it broke her heart b/c it hit so close to home. Her father was in very ill health. Her mother died unexpectedly a few months later.

Trent gave a cool interview on Johnny's version. I can't quite remember what he said, maybe that at first he wasn't sure, it was so different from his. But when he saw Johnny's video that he felt he owned the song.
