It's a fact known by those who have discussed covers with me that, as a general rule, I do not like covers. Jazz standards are a different story. That being said, I have found a few covers that I actually prefer to the originals, and the Dead Kennedys version of Viva Las Vegas that DP posted earlier is one of those.
The problem with the covers that fail is that they often fail because they bring nothing new to the table (sound too derivative and thus seem like a poor man's version of the original) or because they do actually try to take a risk and it just feels odd, more so if I'm very familiar with the original (but not always). I listened to 3rdegree's cover of Going for the One and I didn't like it at all because Yes's Going for the One is so ingrained in my mind after years of hearing it.
As if anyone cares about my opinion anyway.
As to indi's above, I definitely prefer the original. The cover isn't bad, but Johnny Cash is hard to cover and bring something better to the table, IMO.

You saw The Residents perform that one live? I am all kinds of jealous right now.
Also, I have to say, even though I like the original Stones song, I actually much prefer the Devo and Residents covers. Hard to say which one I like more since they are so different.
I would post another song and such with this, but since I just went right before you, I'll let at least one other person go first.

I like the song when I'm listening to the cover. Chorus gets less repetitive with the modifications.
