The original is great, but I love this version so much more.

I've always thought that Joe Cocker's version of With A Little Help From My Friends was vastly superior to the Beatles. (And apparently hard to find on youtube without some 'misheard lyrics' overlay...)

And The Beatles were on record saying that was the only cover of their work they liked.

This would have been my choice.

Is it still a cover if it is a cover by the original band?...guess not. But this version of "No Rain" i love much more than the bumble bee prancing original.
 
  

  VH1 had blind Melon as one of the best "one hit wonders of the 90s" and quite frankly that is idiotic. You don't make 3 albums and then get an additional album release after your frontman dies if you're a one hit wonder. 
 
 Few great Blind Melon songs...if you like "No Rain".
Mouth Full of Cavities 
All That I Need 
Soup
SoupLive at Woodstock '94
 
I also doubt if you're a one hit wonder you got signed for Woodstock...just saying.
 
Few of my favorites. Nico is my favorite album which is named after Shannon Hoon's daughter he left behind as an infant when he he died at the age of 28. All proceeds go to her, check it out.
