I think for me it is stuff that introduced me to a band, e.g. this was the first Sly & The Family Stone song I heard:
The Sex Pistols No Fun almost certainly being the first Iggy/Stooges song too. It is great when stuff can open a whole new door for younger listeners who weren’t around at the time of the original.
For sheer genius I’d go with The Au Pair’s cover of Bowie’s Repetition:
For a start it is amazing that Bowie wrote such a powerful song about domestic violence (it’s on the criminally underrated Lodger), but the Au Pairs were the band to deliver it with the force it deserves.
PS Honourable mentions to both Devo’s and The Residents’s versions of Satisfaction.
