Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - Can't Take My Eyes Off You (original)
Muse - Can't Take My Eyes Off You (cover)

Just amazing sweet bliss, both The Four Seasons's version and Muse's version.

Are you aware of the meaning of "jk"? Or is your taste so drastically different from mine that you felt the need to call me 13 and emo over... Muse?
 
I enjoyed Trent Reznor's cover of I'm Afraid of Americans - a song performed by David Bowie, produced by Trent Reznor

lol

While I like BFMV, I can't stand their Metallica covers b/c the singing sucks. Of course the guitars are great but it's not a good Metallica cover unless the singing is good IMO.
 
The Bangles (of all the bands...) found the guitar rock song hidden within Simon & Garfunkel's Hazy Shade of Winter.

Marshall Chapman's cover of Turn the Page is superior to Metallica's, though I don't think either of them surpasses Bob Seger's original.

If someone writes a song for another performer then later records the song himself, which one is the cover? In this case, I'm thinking of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and China Girl...

Nonpoint also did an awesome cover for In the Air Tonight when the new Miami Vice movie came out...

No I don't think so. That cover song was on their album 2 years before the Miami Vice movie. They didn't make the song for the movie, somebody just decided to use the song for the movie.
