So, there was a fantastic article on cracked today: 5 Cover Songs that Stole the Show from the Originals, which got me to thinking about what my favorite cover songs were.

The one that came to me immediately is John Cale's version of Hallelujah, seen here: Hallelujah!

So, what are you guys' favorite cover songs?

This thread was made for me.

Johnny Cash has a bunch of these .

Incidentally, people like to cover him as well. Imagine that.

I think No Doubt's cover of "It's My Life" is much better than the original by... Talk Talk? ....I think that's the name.

Sweet Dreams

It's an Amazing cover of the original.

Does getting a different singer for your own song count?

Got the Time makes for a better Thrash song.
Original is still good, though.

Is the question why is this a thing...or is the question why is it GOOD?

Honestly Glee does have a few good covers. Some will totally change up the song style and it will be way different, and some other songs will stay the same with just a different singer.

I do like Paramore's cover of Foo Fighter's My Hero

Jonathon Coulton's cover of Sir Mixalot's Baby Got Back

Glee covering Blackbird by The Beatles

Eh, that's most for now. Don't knock a series until you hear some stuff. Glee is way better music wise than show wise. But hey, to each their own.

Glee just irks me. I don't need someone to preach to be a good person and to "show tolerance to others different from me", which is just about 99% of the show, with the other 1% singing and storyline development.

Nobody's knocking the singing (well, the real singing anyway), it's the show that sucks.
