Anyone's cover of a Bob Dylan song.

Dylan is IMO the greatest songwriter of the 20th century, but dang I can't stand to listen to him.

Guns and Roses version of Knocking On Heaven’s Door included too?

Yup, although I think Old Crow Medicine Show's cover of Wagon Wheel is one of my favorites.

Boyce Avenue, Here without you (3 doors down) and We found love (Rihanna). I’m obsessed with them.

Yes! They are one of my favorites. Listen to them everyday .

❤️❤️ The tea party - 'paint it black'

I like Lacey Sturm's version of Roxanne so much better than The Police's

Celine Dion 'All By Myself'

This one's maybe a little different since it's an instrumental, but I think the blues-style Peter Gunn Theme from the movie "Blues Brothers" is better than Henry Mancini's jazz-ensemble original.
