Guns n Roses cover of 'Knockin on Heaven's Door' from 'Use Your Illusion vol 2' is my favourite version of that tune. And their version of 'Live And Let Die' from volume one.

Took many years between this and me hearing the original - I don't know how he does it with the cheesy instrument choice, "orchestration" but for me the original ends up being more emotionally connecting. Buckley's is still great though - musically more beautiful.

Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends must be up there with some of the best covers. Turns a toe-tapping plodder (I'm not a big beatles fan), into an emotional call to arms!

With a lot of arm-waving thrown in!
