You Got Nothing I Want - Alex Lloyd (Cold Chisel) - smashes the original
Hurt - Johnny Cash - (NIN) - Cash owns this one now
Mercy Seat - Johnny Cash - (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) - great interpretation. Doesn't beat the original, but is very different.
Long Way to the Top - The Wiggles live - (AC/DC) - great entry in the old musical challenge on MMM
Me & Bobby Magee - Janis Joplin - (Kris Kristofferson & others) - same as Hurt, Joplins version owns it now
Stagger Lee - Nick Cave (traditional fok song) - unbelievable interpretation, Won't be topped.

Love that Obadiah Parker version that DB posted. Reminds me of the Alex Lloyd / Chisel example I've mentioned.

Here's one you need to see to appreciate. Africa - Andy Mckee (Toto) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHFcg1Bg83w&feature=kp



PS - How do you embed the videos as DB did?
