Are you for real man?

Well I suppose I'd put Oasis about equal to The Beatles for I Am The Walrus, purely for the energy put into it and the colossal outro - that's a credit to both and not an insult to The Beatles.

Gimme Shelter is such a difficult one. I fully understand and acknowledge the absurdity of rating Beady Eye above the Stones - musically the latter are superb but it's Jagger's voice and live act that just doesn't do anything for me at all. It's not just an annoyance, it's barely even tolerable - hard to say knowing the backlash that'll cause but it has to be said.

I need to stress that I'm not criticising the Stones as a band - musically they are superb, they're revered pretty much everywhere. 
Vocally, Mick's voice just doesn't have that edge for me and the strutting is unnecessary and at times really cringeworthy. I'm not adhering to a Liam-only policy of concrete stillness on stage, I just don't enjoy the strutting about.

That album is probably my favorite of theirs but it's hard for me to listen to that song. Had a dog named Molly we put down last year and that song bums me out now. I use to think the lyrics were mommies lips for the longest time

Nirvana always seem done better covers


In The Pines

"In the Pines", also known as "Black Girl" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the 1870s, and is believed to be Southern Appalachian in origin. The identity of the song's author is unknown, but it has been recorded by many artists in numerous genres. Traditionally, it is most often associated with the American blues musician Lead Belly, who recorded several versions in the 1940s, as well as the American bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, who helped popularize the song (in a different variant, featuring lyrics about a train) among bluegrass and country audiences with his versions recorded in the 1940s and 1950s.

The song, performed by The Four Pennies, reached the UK top twenty in 1964. A live rendering by the American grunge band Nirvana, which reinterpreted Lead Belly's version and was recorded during their MTV Unplugged performance in 1993, helped introduce the song to a new generation.

Earliest and known recording. Dock Walsh - "In The Pines" in 1926


Nirvana version

Dunno if Weird Al counts:

always liked Noels "there is a light that never goes out" over the smiths orginal, still a fantastic song just always liked the more emotional tone to noels version.

Dunno if a cover because Shaw was in Dream Evil:

In The Midnight Hour (Wilson Pickett), covered by The Jam and Roxy Music
