Best Cover Songs of All Time

Alien Ant Farm “Smooth Criminal”

It's a good cover, but I feel kind of bad for Alien Ant Farm that a cover song is their best known song.

A lot of people might not realize The Marcel's version of "Blue Moon" is a cover, but it is. The original dates back to the mid 1930s, and throughout the years it was also a hit for Mel Tormé in the 40s.

This may or may not be the worst cover of “Sweet Child O Mine” ever done, but it IS the worst I know of committed to video.

Two from Phoebe Bridgers:

Her cover of That Funny Feeling is so quietly, completely apocalyptic. Sliding right into the abyss, no hope for anything or anyone. I love it.

I remember when you could only find Travis doing Britney Spears' Baby One More Time in the wilds of Napster.

Anyway it's still great.

Sinead O'Connor's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U"

An absolute classic. Cornell also delivers it masterfully.

His cover of GnR’s “Patience” is epic.
