The Musical Equivalent of Chicken

They say that you can always tell a chef by their chicken. It's such a simple thing that we're all familiar with so you can't hide mistakes. The musical equivalent of this is Somewhere Over the Rainbow for me. It's one of the few songs that I have a lot of different versions of. For me the best version has always been that of Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole. Today I heard Ray Charles sing it in such a way that it really made me think about how much I love the song even though I've heard it dozens of times. What cover song do you always judge a band's strength by?
