Beat me to it.
Absolutely brilliant version

The Slits - Heard it through the grapevine

Heard this a few times lately, rather spritely.

The Prince-e-Paul

From my Iyouth - It Must Be Love, Madness (1981). Earlier version by Labi Siffre (1971). Both are great.

Also by Labi SISS 😁 CL Legend status.

All along the watchtower- Hendrix
Feel my love - Adele 

Original songs both by Bob Dylan.

Disturbed...The Sound of Silence.

McBobbin

Respect still for me. Aretha makes Otis Redding in his version sound like a whiny old tosser.... And the original is still a stone cold classic

bazjonster

Roberta Flack's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' by George Michael, is an excellent cover (as was the original, of course).

I fought the law   - Clash
Dear prudence    -Siouxsie Sioux
All along the watch tower    - Hendrix

Tom Petty - won’t back down is not bad.

Petty's version is the original, there are a few other versions .. Petty wrote it with Jeff Lynne

Always thought Jonny Cash wrote it - I was wrong!

Never had any time for U2, but Johnny Cash's 'One' made me overcome my perfectly reasonable predudice.
Heart rending lyrics...

Huskaris

Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley) - This Mortal Coil
Hallelujah previous mentioned and completely agree, so had to mention his dad above as someone covering his song!

Tricky (Public Enemy) Black Steel pretty good as well. Beautiful South did loads over the years, difficult to choose.
