    Queens of the Stone Age - Outlaw Blues - big QOTSA fan so this one for me...
    Limp Bizkit - Faith - because it is a different version to the original and they made it their own...
    The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man - my best of the two...

    The Hothouse Flowers - I Can See Clearly Now Vs Queens of the Stone Age - Outlaw Blues my nomination

    Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss Vs Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage Also my nomination

    Luke Kelly - The Auld Triangle Vs Limp Bizkit - Faith Limp Bizkit are pure cringe now but I liked them at the time

    The Beatles - Please Mr Postman Vs The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man Prefer the original but this cover is more radio friendly I suppose

    Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss as its one of my nominations. A guilty pleasure.

    The Hothouse Flowers - I Can See Clearly Now. Another one of those covers that I think is better than the original.

    Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage. Not even Holly Valance's hotness can overcome the Man in Black.

    Limp Bizkit - Faith. Not a fan of either, but dislike Limp Bizkit marginally less.

    The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man. Not a lover of either song really, but this is definitely the better cover.
