I also disagree most strongly with Whiskey in the Jar but would go for:

All Along the Watchtower and Like a Rolling Stone - Hendrix versions and

With a Little Help from my Friends -Joe Cocker

Agree with the Metallica one, but not sure on MH. I much prefer their take on The Polices' message in a bottle...I dont think its neccesarily better, but a fucking good go at it!

"metallica whiskey in the jar

Thats an old traditional Irish song, teh origins of it are lost in time, there is no original

all versions are therefore cover versions

Jeff Buckleys cover of Cohen's Hallelujah is my fav cover version
