Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard's "Hallelujah" is stunning- here is an old master, Johhny Cash,owning a new song. Hurt.

Good stuff, though the Soft Cell version was also a cover.

Another cover that completely reinterprets the original Tears for Fears song:

Is there any cover that has eclipsed the original more than this one?
I think not! |

One of my all-time covers. Blows the original out of the water, IMO:

I'm on a rediscovering Led Zep kick right now and as far as covers that take the original to a completely different place, these make me smile. I think Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie and Robert Johnson would smile too.

Hardflex - have to disagree about Cocker's cover of Leave Your Hat On. Newman's is so much edgier- Cocker's version is just too 'nice'.

Gotta disagree with you on this one.... Cowboy Junkies did it justice, in fact it's one of my favorites in their repetoire. Now THESE guys.... Watch THE fan going wild at the beginning.

foxpaws, we'll agree to disagree. Cockers Version I think has a feel to it that's great fun and infectious. It brightens my mood every time I hear it.
To each his own.
