Well, the original Joy Division version is easily my favorite - it's not even close - however, the first version I heard was actually the Swans' which I really love as well.

If Dream Theater and/or Phish have covered it, it's the best and my favorite. A little poem:

Dream Theater and Phish are the best
Fuck the rest, there's no contest

That Arcade Fire cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart (with Bono of course) sucks badly! How can you consider it a good cover!?

I still don't see the fuss about Neutral Milk Hotel. For everyone telling me it's a grower, I've listened to 'Aeroplane...' 10-12 times. It's just distinctly average.

If there's any band that SHOULD be covered it's NMH.I don't see how it's a grower,I liked it immediately and put it into my chart after 6-7 listens,but if anything it just gets boring after awhile and there isn't much to keep you coming back.

yeah, but... I don't know it just wouldn't seem as good

@Nezzle: Oh well, subjective tastes.

You can add NMH to that, I can't imagine anyoen doing a NMH song justice.

NMH can TOTALLY be covered, their style is pretty stripped down lends well to covering.

Ever heard of a band called Galaxie 500?

This. Galaxie 500 should never be covered by anybody ever.

I love Charles Bradley's version of 'Heart of Gold' by Neil Young.

I was trying to do that song ranking thing, but it's just too hard. I've decided to rank my five favourite covers of Love Will Tear Us Apart instead - feel free to rank yours, as well!

1. Broken Social Scene
2. Swans
3. Evelyn Evelyn
4. New Order
5. Arcade Fire (feat. Bono)

As a bonus, worst:
Fall Out Boy
