I really like Chris Thiles version of "Heart in a Cage" by The Strokes. Prefer it. So different though

well off the top of my head i can only think of the opposite - a cover so bad the original musician im sure was rolling in his grave during its performance and it made all its original fans die a little inside..... was when i recently saw a cover of smells like teen spirit by miley cyrus.

Every single Dylan tune that Jerry performed.
Actually pretty much every Dylan tune that anyone has ever performed.
Dylan should've made like Robert Hunter. Written songs and found a friend that could sing and play the guitar well to perform them.

I don't know if I would really call Sublime's Scarlet Begonias a cover...
As far as blowing the original away..
Claypool playing Pink Floyd's Animal(s).
As far as great covers:
I'm a huge fan of:

Not saying this is ANYWHERE near better, but still sounds pretty good:
Bluegrass version of WHIPPING POST by "Mountain Heart"

Also, really like RHCP version of Higher Ground. Not better than original though

What would you call it?
Ever seen "Finding Forester" with Sean Connery? "You da man now dawg," etc.. ?
You know how he gives the kid some writing samples so that the kid can start a story from a writing sample and then get his creative juices flowing and then write his own material? And then he gets in trouble because the first section of his essay is like the one that was published?
I'd call it that.
