All good choices (although Ragtime Cowboy Joe by the Chipmunks doesn't Light My Fire.)

And what about all those classic early R & B hits like Tootie Frootie and Ain't That A Shame covered by white bread artists like Pat Boone? Or Earth Angel, covered by the Crew Cuts?

Some artists, like Dave Van Ronk and Mississippi John Hurt recorded a whole handful of songs that will most liekly never be equalled.

The Youngbloods version of Grizzly Bear is another definitive version, for me.
