I'm tapped out.. There's plenty of other good covers in my thousands of songs that comprises my library of music.. But I can't think of any of them <_<
Not as good as the original, but I cannot help but acknowledge how well done this cover is in taking an amazing grunge song and transforming it into something happy-go-lucky and uplifting, it's simply amazing.
This is bad, but they played the original at a minor league baseball game I was at a couple of years ago. Round Rock Express versus whatever NO's minor league team is. :/ I don't know how many people noticed. LOL!
This was done as a cover for the documentary-ish film I'm Not There covering the various stages of life and likeness of Bob Dylan.
Though it was originally by Dylan himself, the spirit of the song is captured so well by Jim James.
A great cover of a song by Sade made for the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It has a much more soothing, lullaby-esque and almost melancholy feel than the original.
A respectable cover that gives a much more down to earth alternative and acoustic feel that is generally more agreeable in the grand spectrum of genres. Though I will say I still prefer Robert Smith.
To clear up any confusion, this is a touching collaboration between Radiohead and Sparklehorse. Musically performed by Jonny Greenwood and the rest of Radiohead while the vocals are delivered by Sparklehorse.
Thom Yorke sat this one out I think, but I cannot confirm.
Either way, decent cover of a timeless track by Pink Floyd.
All I can say is it takes balls to cover Joni Mitchel, but Natalie Merchant is quite a talented singer, so I must give credit where it is due by keeping this cover as wholesome as possible.
A minor hit originally done by The Korgis in the 1980s, was brought back to life thanks to Beck and featured in one of my favorite films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Fat Mike of NoFX in his side project. Seriously I LOVE this cover, and a few others of theirs.
And for the record, I'm not sure who actually originally did this song. I know R Kelly has a version of it, but I'm not sure he is the original song writer.
Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails. I'm a sucker for acoustic.
EDIT: Oops! Slip got it. Oh well.

You mean the other way around. Nine Inch Nails Covers Johnny Cash's version. But yes by far one of the best live performances by NiN
Now I'm confused.. You do realize the song was written by Trent, right?
Yes because the artist who preforms the song always has to be the writer.. the cover thing was an attempt at humor tho, Cash being gone and all. Meh I should have made it more apparent :)
