Youtube cover songs better than the original or just as good as...

Colin James covering John Lennon's "I'm Losing You"


And Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic"

 
Jeff Healey was a master of covers.

The Weight:


While My Guitar Gently Weeps:

 
Perhaps it is not fair, but the Talking Heads cover of Al Green's Take Me to the River has eclipsed the original:

 
An Italian town got together and covered the Foo Fighters to get them to have a concert in their town. The Foo Fighters did.

+1. How about Bonnie Raitt covering Richard Thompson's Dimming of the Day? With RT on background vocals.

 
Robert Plant "covers" Zep Black Dog with Allison Krauss
 
This young gal has a nice acoustic arrangement of "Another Brick In the Wall":


Showing her guitar skills on Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters":

 
Any human with a half-decent voice and competent production covering any song played by Bob Dylan. :tongue:
 
Jamie Cullum is wonderful, and I love his song "Save Your Soul." But I was very impressed by Citizen Shade's rendition, from an obscure duo out of North Carolina. Citizen Shade first, Cullum second... (PS: But Citizen Shade's lead singer can do better by dumping the gloves, IMHO...)

I think Nancy Wilson can hold her own to Robert Plant on the vocals, but the lead guitarist about mid way through didn't come close to Jimmy Page. Though I agree, it did look like it was enjoyed by the band.
