Lots of people have covered Guns N Roses. Eric Clapton stole "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Didn't someone else steal the song after that? Either the Beatles or Paul McCartney stole "Live and Let Die." Hell, even Guns N Roses tried to steal their own song, "Don't Cry," but then wouldn't give themselves permission, so they changed the lyrics.
I thought Metallica did a pretty good version of Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone." And Limp Bizkit did a decent job with that The Who song. Can't remember the name right now. Another Phil Collins song was covered by Disturbed. "Land of Confusion." They did pretty well with that. |

I believe the correct answer is "[censored]ing Wings"

I like his second version of his cover which he did around 1987 (they used it in a Bud Light commercial IIRC).

Sure it's been said already, but Jeff Buckley's cover of 'Hallelujah'. Listening to it now... simply haunting.

Fleetwood Mac's (Buckingham) cover of Fleetwood Mac's (Green) Oh Well is pretty good.

Also Jennifer Warnes whole album of Leonard Cohen songs..."Famous Bue Raincoat" |
