Beginning middle and end of which is the greatest cover.

it's time to shut down the internet. i agree with rj 100%. this is the greatest cover ever, and it's not even close.

Punch Brothers do a great cover of "Ophelia"

Here's a nomination for worst cover:

 

[EatLeadCommie]

somebody already posted Just Like Heaven, but I always liked DJ's cover of Show Me The Way too. It's just an awful, drunken sounding mess. Great to sing along to when you're smashed.



Also, the Hindu Love Gods did a good cover of Raspberry Beret. In their case, it literally was a drunken rendition. It was basically Warren Zevon and the guys from REM (sans Michael Stipe) drinking in a studio.

These guys did a whole album of Simon and Garfunkel covers. I think they were from Atlanta.
