But an all-timer is Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan

Shiny Toy Guns - Space Oddity

@Chuymatt This guy has taken a number of popular hits and spun them as "if written by Dire Straits". Not only can he play a passable Mark Knopfler, he can sing it too. I ran across his channel when I found the Take On Me version.

@Chuymatt "Mad World" by Tears for Fears, covered by Gary Jules & Michael Andrews — the version in Donny Darko

@Chuymatt other than Hurt, I enjoy the old Alex Harvey cover of Delilah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0fT9BHpImI

keyboard noodling takes it somewhere else

@Chuymatt Marc Ribot has a bunch of covers that really vary quite a bit from the original. My favorite cover of his is Hendrix's The Wind Cries Mary

Im currently stuck on Kasey Chambers smashing Eminem's Lose Yourself at Newcastle. It kicks ass. Love that Johnny Cash one too.

@Chuymatt Nightwish version of High Hopes by Pink Floyd

Lemonheads Mrs Robinson

@Chuymatt Made it their own, eh?

Stretching the definition of cover: Butthole Surfers "Sweat Loaf" - Black Sabbath "Sweet Leaf"

Runners up for me would be the Ministry-related covers - all putting a unique spin on the songs.

- Revolting Cocks - Olivia Newton John "(Let's Get) Physical"
- Revolting Cocks - Rod Stewart "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy"
- 1000 Homo DJs - Black Sabbath "Supernaut"
- Ministry - Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay"
