When Bob Seger recorded You Never Can Tell / Cest La Vie, his comment was:
"We had a lot of fun doing this old Chuck Berry nugget. Entirely live. No overdubs".
That's what rock and roll is all about.

Sweet Little Rock And Roller - Rod Stewart
Let It Rock/Little Queenie - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (either live version as long as it hasn't been edited for cd)
Back In The USA - Linda Ronstadt (multiple versions)
These are all excellent

If live versions are allowed, too, I'll have to give the 1972 Bye Bye Johnny live versions a mention here. What a band!

So many worthy .
I'd have to say all of 'em.
Thing is nobody else has ever covered Chuck Berry quite like the Stones.
The covers are all different to Chuck's originals ...but they don't loose the "Roll" like almost all other cover versions do.

With all the Stones Chuck Berry covers they've done throughout the years, I've been thinking...
After the success of Blue and Lonesome's blues covers, it would be great for the Stones to do an early Rock and Roll covers album - not just Chuck Berry covers.
New recordings of semi-obscure classics from Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino, and the list goes on.
And maybe some from artists that have been lost in the sands of time.
Rockin'and Rollin' with the Rolling Stones (Blast from the Past)
Might sound like a hokey idea to some, but an album of blues covers isn't really that different as it was a tribute to their heroes from the past.

Yes, I would like that.
