I know that there is the worst covers ever...

 

Now it is time for the BEST

 

In my opinion, some of musicians best works are cover songs. Partially because they put so much passion and work inot a cover. Since usually it is a tribute or a favorite song so it is something they love.

 

some of my favorites are:

 

-The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nick's cover)

 

-Fiona Apple - Across the Universe (The Beatles cover)

 

-Nick Drake - Don't Think Twice, It's Alright (Bob Dylan cover)

i was thinking of making this, but couldnt be bothered...

 

i didnt like fiona apples version that much...

 

anyways i think these are good:

 

* Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

 

* Mad World - Gary Jules

 

* Scarborough Fair - Simon + Garfunkel...

 

* cant remember anymore...

Johnny Cash - Hurt.

Yeah, the aforementioned Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley and Hurt by Johnny Cash are probably my favourites.

 

Although Coldplay do a good job on 'Ring of Fire,' Chris' voice doesn't quite go that low. :)

 

Also, Stevie Ray Vaugn played awesome Hendrix covers when he was playing.
