My choices are endless but to name a few:
Worst: Uncle Krackers remake of Drift Away
Worst: Christina Aguilera's- Lady Marmalade
Worst: Michael Bolton does Sinatra
Best: John Coltrane-My Favorite things
Best: Whitney Houstons-national Anthem
Best: Simply Reds-Holding back the Years
The best doesnt mean that they did it better but kept the integrity of the original recording.

I agree with All Along the Watch Tower and also Mr. Tambourine man by the Byrds and the Them version of "It's All over Now Baby Blue." -all original Bob Dylan songs. I think the worsts are Eric Clapton's cover of "I Shot the Sheriff", Brittany Spears version of "Satisfaction," Jessica Simpson's version of "These Boots are Made for Walking, " the Sheryl Crow version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" (horrible!), and the Duran Duran version of "911 Is A Joke."

I love Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love and Sweet Dreams.
I'd have to say the worst is Run Like Hell by Kittie, originally by Pink Floyd. I love love LOVE Kittie, but you can't really put a heavy metal twist on a song by a classic, mellow band.

I'm with you all the way with "Bolton Does Sinatra." What a disgrace to all mankind. He should get at least 10 years for that!
As for the best, I have to say none. I always like the originals the best!

although not the worst, but i never like the version by whitney houston she show off all her vocal range but to me it was flat coz it lack all the emotion that the song ought to have(i will always love you) the original by dolly parton is the best .
elton john outdone the original lucy in the sky with diamond by the beatles. it was as if elton wrote the song.
