my top 10 cover versions in no particular order:

Sisters Of Mercy ' Emma' (Hot Chocolate cover from Wake the Live at Royal Albert Hall film 1985 - great cover!! I like their version of Knocking On Heavens door too.....guilty pleasures!!)
Nick Cave 'Helpless' (Neil Young/CSNY cover from my favourite covers album 'The Bridge' - instrumental in getting me into Neil Young! - great Pixies, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Loop covers of Neil tunes)
Loop 'Mother Sky' (Can - Loop can do no wrong in my book!!)
Mudhoney 'Urban Guerilla' (Hawkwind - so FUCKING punk. From the Mojo Punk Rock covermount comp. from a few years ago. My current favourite Mudhoney cover though 'We Had Love' their Scientists cover is running a close second at the moment....)
Sonic Youth 'Hot Wire My Heart' (Crime like DUH!! why has it taken me over 15 years to go back and check out Crime!!)
Iron & Wine 'Peng' (Stereolab cover! Nice - only found on Rough Trade Shops 2003 album)
J Masics and the Fog 'Everything Flows' (by Teenage Fanclub which segues into 'Range Life' by Pavememt and ends up ripping through 'In A Rut' by the Ruts!! WOW! - on the BBC Radio 1 Fog sessions CD)
Johnny Cash 'Hurt' (I hate 9 Inch Nails. So much. But I love Johnny Cash. This could be the best cover ever......and best video, from one of my favourite albums....

Neil Young 'All Along The Watchtower' (I love the Jimi version - but I really love Neil Youngs live version of Jimis version of Dylans classic that he did at the Dylans 50th Birthday party thang in New York about er a million years ago!!)
Red House Painters 'I Am A Rock' (Simon & Garfunkels 'classic' with the tune taken out!!)

I'm a bit wary of Crime. I always imagine a typical punk band with nothing special about them.

Johnny Cash is amazing. i heard the song 'Hurt' in a bar in Liverpool, It was breakfast time I was havin me breakfast with a friend then some guy choses the song on the jukebox my friend who's an obsessive of Johnny looked at me and said "Johnny Cash 'Hurt" I'd never heard the song before so I listened. The whole place went silent until the end of the song after that I went out and bought the album in virgin.
It's one of the few songs thats looked at me kicked me in the teeth and said "this is an amazing song now go buy the album"

This is a rant bought to you by Phil's fingers in collaboration with his brain.

The Meat Puppets did a whole bunch of CCR and Neil Young drunken covers back in the days, it's hilarious.
