So I’m a total sucker for cover songs. I dig, dig, dig them. I think they way a cover song is approached says a great deal about an artist or band. Covers can be pretty straight ahead or genre busting such as the Be Good Tanyas cover of Princes “When the Doves Cry.” Here's some coves that I really like. What do ya’ll think? What are some of your favorite cover songs?
Reel Big Fish Take On Me (Ah Ha)
Be Good Tanyas When The Doves Cry (Prince)
Watson Twins Just Like Heaven (The Cure)
Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash Redemption Song (Bob Marley)
Ryan Adams Wonderwall (Oasis)
Brandi Carlile Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Mike Doughty The Gambler (Kenny Rogers)
Derek Webb and Sandra If Not For You (Bob Dylan)

Cover Songs

I love covers,too. I have all of those but the Watson Twins one :)
Most interesting cover of late was Glen Campbell's cover of Green Day's "Good Riddance" and Panc at the Disco's cover of "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas and "The Weight" by The Band.
Favorite cover I heard yesterday: Mars Volta covering "Birthday" by The Sugarcubes.
Rufus Wainwright's is still my favorite version of "Hallelujah".
