    I actually thought that the Ronan Keating/Usef Ali Father and Son had much more to it than the Cat Stevens original - you know the Christian/Muslim thing and all that

    Dylan's Knockin On Heavens Door is way better than GnR's, it sounds better and it has more feel. Claptons version is bettr than GnR's too.

    Good covers are:
    Johnny Cash - Hurt (NIN cover)
    Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles cover)
    Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (Dylan cover)
    Stevie Ray Vaughan - Taxman (Beatles cover)

    good call on the whitney houston one, it was a good cover but dolly parton's version is the best

    kenny rogers does a good version of desperado
