To where you are =Jonathan Ansell
Bring him home= Jonathan Ansell
My view is that Jonathan takes any song and sings it better then the original

Surprised noone's yet mentioned Joe Cocker's version of "With a little help from my friends"!

My other choices would be

Beatles - Rock' Roll Music, Mr Postman, Roll Over Beethoven
Gary Jules - Mad World
Communards - Don't leave me this way
Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind
Adele - Make you feel my love (didn't realise until recently that it was a cover!!)

One I've only discovered recently (on YouTube) is Hole's version of the Bob Dylan classic, "It's All Over Now Baby Blue". I downloaded it to mp3 and have played it constantly since.

Others I love include:

Cathy Dennis - Waterloo Sunset (add Def Leppard's version too)
Fiona Apple - Across The Universe
Manic Street Preachers - Suicide Is Painless
Guns N Roses - Since I Don't Have You
Florence And The Machine - Oh Darling!
Rolling Stones - Like A Rolling Stone
Wishing On A Star - Paul Weller

and one of my guilty pleasures.....

Richard Cheese's cover of Disturbed's "Down With The Sickness"
