I'm surprised people haven't mentioned Joe Cocker. I liked a few of his covers notably his cover of "With A little help from my friends," by the Beatles, which is arguably more famous than the original.
Sorry guys but I think NooYowkur81 nailed this one for the best, but what do I know. So good The Beatles stopped playing the original.
So just to breathe some new life in to the thread, which version of Leonard Cohen's classic track do you prefer - R.E.M. or Joe?

Add on Smashmouth's "I'm a believer'' to the list of ones I despise.
