I love bluegrass and I love a good cover

Alex Melton – Wonderwall (Blink182 style)
I was never much of an Oasis guy, but was the right age for some Blink-182. I can work with this.
FMD 1-25-19: Cover Me
With the Weezer "pointless covers done exactly the same as originals" album coming out (I kid! I kid!), and with the fact that I don't know that we've really talked covers for a while, I thought maybe this would be a good topic for the week.
What's your favorite cover song?
What song that was covered do you much prefer the original of?
What song did you not know was a cover until much later?
What song would you like to see covered?
Which are the best and which are the most pointless covers? You know, that type of thing.
Anyway, drop a list, and give us some cover-age!
Aretha Franklin – Bridge Over Troubled Water
Sorry, Paul, she's got you beat on this one.

Devo – (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
Kindly ignore the sacrilegious nature of some of the tags.

Haim – “That Don’t Impress Me Much”
So let's see if this works... this video had entirely too much talking and annoying DJs before and after the song, but I can't find a better version. Trying to start it in the right place...
The Revivalists – “To Love Somebody”
The Revivalists are another band that I've been enjoying quite a bit, and their more country take on this Bee Gees song (the best Bee Gees song?) hits that thing where you want a cover song to add something new, and not just duplicate what went before. Anyway, I dig this.
A Perfect Circle – Imagine
Seeing JMK live would be a blast ... no matter which group he was performing with.

Dave Grohl – Band On The Run
With Sir Paul's touring band no less!
