Fuck off. The Kinks original had wit and charm and nuance. I love the Jam but their version was dull, colourless monotony.
Agreed. The Jam completely missed the point of the song.
Well even Ray Davies said the Jam version was better than the original, so you two numbscales need to reign it in a bit with the insults to the world's greatest band.

I love the Jam but they utterly murdered this song.

If you think they were " the worlds greatest band" then I forgive you for being blinded by stupidity. If Ray Davies said that (which I doubt) then he was being generous, but rather less than honest. The Jam added nothing to the song, rather thay removed any charm it had
Isley's version of 'Summer Breeze' knocks out the (admittedly good) Seals and Croft original
Absolutely love the full album track where Ernie Isley plays an amazing lengthy guitar solo at the end..…..it’s top draw. DJ’s and radio stations very rarely play the album version…..mores the pity.
Anything on Goldiggas (Beautiful South) especially Ciao, though have loads of covers they have done live.Lots of Carter ones. Oasis doing I am the Walrus has been committed to vinyl but a tad better live. Manics Theme from MASH. Don't know the original artist but Nellie the Elephant by The Toy Dolls is slightly livelier
I appreciate that the Sound of Silence by Disturbed may be quite intense and a totally different take on the song, plus well produced. This should be applauded.
Unfortunately for me, I don't really get raawwkk music with growly metal voices, so Simon and Garfunkel for me.
I really liked The Lemonheads Mrs Robinson back in 92 and even started singing the Johnny Robinson song at Barnsley away, before we went back to The Valley.
Their most known one is Whiskey In The Jar by Thin Lizzy, but they also played a great version of Funeral For A Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding by Elton John recently.
Behave, it's a traditional Irish song from way back, the Highwaymen had a hit in the US in the 60s & of course the Dubliners over here. (I appreciate you may be referring to a "rockier" version but it's just a cover of a cover of a cover ad infinitum)
The Clash - I Fought the Law The Jam - Stoned out of my mind
I bought 'I fought the law' by the Bobby Fuller Four in 1966 - a top ten hit!
I was blissfully unaware of the original by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets until about five minutes ago. Interesting acoustic guitar on that version. I s'pose I'd better catch up with Clash's take on it now.

In fact any cover by Willy DeVille is better.

Another shout out for Sound of Silence by Disturbed absolutely stunning.

Simon and Garfunkel win here too though.
