The Man In Black
"Rusty Cage"
Soundgarden wrote it...Johnny Cash perfected it! Mostly accoustic and gritty as hell!
He's also covered Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Beck, U2, Tom Petty, Neil Diamond, Nick Cave, Glenn Danzig...the list goes on.
And whether it's a song he wrote or someone elses he's performing, He's been my absolute favorite since I was about 7 when I heard "One Piece at a Time" about his mismatched Cadillac.

New Found Glory's version of The Glory of Love makes me happy too.scylis said:
It can't be as broad as that. There are too many professional writers who never performed, like everyone in the Brill Building or on Tin Pan Alley. I's say it a song previously recorded and released by someone else.

Rawhide!
DK's Rawhide! I find I have a total disregard of traffic laws and speed limits when I have that song in the tape deck.
Mike Ness of Social Distortion fame put out an entire cover album a few years back called "Under the Influences" with covers of Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" and Hank Williams' "Long Black Veil"
In 1981 and 1996 Social Distortion covered the "Under My Thumb"
They also covered Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire"
Hank Williams III did a great cover of Cash's "Cocaine Blues"
And the Stray Cats did a cover of "Can't Hurry Love"
And the Charlie Daniels Band did a wicked cover of the old Robert Mitchum song "Thunder Road" about running from the law with a trunk fulla Moonshine.
All worth checking out.
...Unless you don't like Country, Rockabilly or Punk.
