What's your favorite cover song?
I don't know too much about various good covers, but I really enjoy the Wakey! Wakey! cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two Headed Boy". And Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah".
I quite like Jamie Cullum's cover of Rihanna's 'Don't Stop The Music' atm. It's very jazzy.
Pretty much the best cover ever.
YouTube - Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower - ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO
I love when covers are better than the original. Also, Kid Cudi is the only person that can write a catchy song that promotes drunk driving and get away with it.

I think Kamiki Aya's cover of Pierrot is better than the original.
johnny cash - hurt
Jesse Lacey of Brand New also played a pretty good cover of 'Two Headed Boy'.Quote:

i enjoy those off the top of my head, also this: YouTube - Taj Mahal Johnny Too Bad - The Harder They Come Video & I particularly just liked how they did that video to a montage from the harder they come. etc. fionn regan also did a powerfully awesome cover of woody guthrie's 'slipknot' when i saw him live a couple of years ago, but i don't think that's ever been recorded, sadly
