What becomes of the broken hearted? Originally by Jimmy Ruffin.

Sung by Joan Osborne and backed by 'The Funk Brothers' who were creative geniuses and the backing musicians on many of the great Tamla Motown classics.

The Ryan Adams version of Wonderwall is very nice - puts a whole new slant on the tune with it seeming a lot darker.

...

Johnny Cash - Hurt (originally by nine inch nails regarding drug addiction) ... Cash' version just sends tingles down my spine.

Hallelujah, originally done by Leonard Cohen, but the best version for me is Jeff Buckley's.

Absolutely agree with this. One of my funeral choices........hopefully not for a while yet though.

The man who sold the world by nirvana. Really good, but only a guy ready to top himself could sound like that.

The Zutons covered Amy Winehouse's Valerie really well, and what was clever about how they did it was that they did it before Amy made it a massive hit.

Rain by The Beatles covered by Todd Rundgren. Jealous Guy, written by Lennon performed better by Roxy Music. They did a really good version of Dylans 'Hard rains-a-gonna fall' as well.

Hey Joe by Hendrix was a cover. Oh and 'I wanna be your man' by the Stones.
