My biggest problem with the Top 10 list is that I don't think that Cream's "Crossroads" is a cover at all. Sure, it steals some lyrics from Robert Johnson's "Cross Road Blues", but it steals some from some other Johnson songs, too. Most importantly, there's very little musically connecting "Crossroads" with any Johnson song besides that they're both in the blues vernacular. It's kind of like saying that "Dare to Be Stupid" is a cover of "Girl U Want".

Speaking of Devo, their cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" deserves mention. Hmm, and TMBG's cover of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)". And their cover of the theme to "The Daily Show". And speaking of Bob Mould, Husker Du's cover of the theme to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". And speaking of the Rolling Stones, almost everyone's cover of any of their songs is better than the original. Echo and the Bunnymen's cover of "Paint It Black" comes to mind.
