1 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1968
orig. Bob Dylan, 1967
3 My Way - Sid Vicious, 1979
orig. Frank Sinatra, 1969 (after Paul Anka, 1969)
2 You Were Always on My Mind - Pet Shop Boys, 1987
orig. Elvis Presley, 1972 (after brenda lee, 1971) [What about Waylon Jennings!!!]
But here's the only one that would have made it up to my top 50:
