This is the definitive cover of DM's "Personal Jesus".

Agreed.

By the same token , DM cover of Route 66 .

That's rude.

Different and interesting are good words, doesn't have to be better or worse.

Toby Keith covering Nugent's Stranglehold(sorry for the poor quality of the vid. There's no real good quality video of this version):

Not a bad cover, and the fact that it's a Pepsi ad, and a funny one, just makes it even better.

One of the favorite covers. I don't even know who sang the original, but I've heard it and it's a completely unremarkable song when done by the original band, IMHO.

ON EDIT: I didn't actually watch this particular YouTube video before linking, and there's definitely some NSFW content, so fair warning.

Whiskey In the Jar is originally from a band called Thin Lizzy. Credit must be given where credit is due. ;)
