I grew to hate Sultans of Swing after it got played to death on the radio, but someone recently sent me this flamenco version and I rediscovered a song I now love:

Great cover, Dwill, but I really love this version by Leon Russell, George Harrison and friends:

Another big Aussie hit in 1969. Apologies for my Aussie parochialism but here, in my opinion, this is a better version of Dear Prudence than The Beatles'. This is by Doug Parkinson in Focus. I have no doubt you'll disagree with my sentiments. Doug Parkinson's vocals are superb and much more ballsy and emotional than Lennon's (....ducking for cover!).

Sting and Robert Downey Jr - Driven to Tears

Downey Jr. sings most of it, thus qualifies as covering a song, I think.

This Syd Barrett cover by Gilmour, is so beautiful and touches me emotionally.

I think Gilmour never sang this high before

Three epic blues covers!

Alvin Lee's version of Sonny Boy Williamson is monumental:

Eric Clapton and Duane Allman's towering take of Big Bill Broonzy:

Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac show their reverence for Elmore James (and don't even need amps or mics!):

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
