Very interesting thread. As for Smooth Criminal, although I do like Alien Ant Farm's remake, the original and its corresponding music video is among my favorite acts of all time. The original song pumps me up like no other.

Elton John or the Shat?

LOL :p the Shat's version is actually rather unique. I actually like both at the same time depending on mood :Q

I like both, but I might have to give the edge to SP, honestly.

I could make it tougher and add in The Dixie Chicks version which I think is a really good tribute to the original.

Another incredibly tough one because she tried to be so close to the original and had an incredible band playing the instrumentals is....

Heart w/ Ann Wilson -- Barracuda

or

Gretchen Wilson w/Alice in Chains -- Barracuda

DJ Sammy's dance version of "Boys of Summer" is quite good, and has cute European chicks singing in the video.



Aerosmith's version of Come Together is their typical style of throat clearing + guitar tuning = epic fail.

i don't see how people prefer the cure's version of love song to 311's. 311 just does it so much better IMO.

i think the closest battle would be tool vs. led zeppelin - no quarter (original gets homefield advantage!)

Jeff Buckley isn't covering Leonard Cohen's original of Hallelujah. He's covering John Cale's cover of Cohen.
