Through the years there have been many cover versions of songs. Some good, some bad and some indifferent. I'll start the ball rolling with Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm as my favourite cover. What's yours?

Foo fighters- band on the run :) Not heard that one although I thought Guns and Roses version of Live and let die was very good!

Leona Lewis covering RUN by Snow patrol! Pretty decent, considering the original was almost perfect! Check it out!

OK we'll change it slightly, you can also include the worst cover version you ever heard. Mine has to be Toyah murdering Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins

I like Halestorm`s version of Slave to the Grind, originally done by Skid Row. Worst cover...Metallica`s covers of Turn the Page, Whiskey in the Jar. God did they f--k those up.

I asked my brother his favourite covers and he said Walk on by, by The Stranglers and Whisky in the jar by Metallica. I think or rather hope that they had their tongue firmly in cheek when they made that one! The video's a laugh though!

Limp Biskit's cover of George Michael's Faith is totally awesome too.
