One of my fav covers.

Now I have a lot of vdeos to check out would like to thank all of you for making this my fav thread talking music, thank you!!!
Every cover by Eva Cassidy is better than the original. In fact, makes you think "this is the way it should have been done."

honestly, I'm a classic rock guy and was thinking of all kinds of great covers but I can't think of anyone who took a song and made it her own as much as Sinead. One of the great recordings ever.
If I had to go classic rock, I'd do 'Twist and Shout' by los Beatles. Probably the greatest rock and roll recording ever. The story of the session is great - they were all exhausted, done with a long studio session and someone talked them into one more. They trudged back into the studio, john's voice was hoarse from the long day...plugged in...and there it is. All the energy, rebellion and ' I DO GIVE A SH'T!' of early rock and roll.

Prince wrote some really great songs for others. Why did all of his songs suck?

John Wesley Harding wrote:
With so many great cover songs it’d be hard to pick a favorite, but I think it’s appropriate that I contribute this classic cover:
The original was included on Bob Dylan’s 1967 album, John Wesley Harding.
Interesting... I was going to toss this out, which I'm realizing now must be a cover of a cover....
Two covers of Parchman Farm, originally by Bukka White (1940). If you haven't heard these before, you are in for a treat:
