While i enjoy the original better, I think Three Dog Night did a great job.

Cover
The Delgados changed it from the orchestral classic rock and synthesizers style of ELO and made it into a little twee chamber pop-esque little ditty.

I love ELO.  Thanks for sharing the cover.

I love ELO, too.

That cover is the epitomy of meh.

I like the "Bad Company" cover too.

"Comfortably Numb" pink floyd

"Comfortably Numb" Van Morrison w/ Pink floyd, not technically a cover, but I LOVE this version

Rog and the Bleeding Hearts =/= the Floyd.

However, yes Van does a cracking job on that version.

This is decent:

At about 4:20 it really kicks off. Heavy as f**k.

Me too.

Literally just heard this today and loved it. Female vocals fits the song perfectly.

I love listening to my friend's iPods and discovering new stuff, hehe. It's also funny one of my female friends only has the original while one of my male friends only has the cover. Not really into Paramore, but this is an exception.

"Hey, listen to this."

All Along the Watchtower

Original: Bob Dylan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbqx_fyEpmw
(Couldn't find anything other than this Rock Band version.)

Cover: Jimi Hendrix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIhtafqZvy8

Now, I love the Dylan version, but Hendrix adds his own brand of awesome, and as a result, his is infinitely better.

[Keg]

Heres a great example of a cover that did something completely different to the original and at first glance, if you arent paying attention you may not even realise its the same song.
