Best Covers

2x Zevon covering “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”, since he had cancer and was.

Shane Ericks “Superstar”; if you didn’t know it wasn’t Karen Carpenter…

Johnny Cash covered “Hurt” by nine inch nails.


Jennifer Warnes “Famous Blue Raincoat” (whole cd of Leonard Cohen’s music)

CSN’s Woodstock which I thought they wrote forever (Joni Mitchell did).

“All Along The Watchtower” had a chilling version (if you like the TV show) in Battlestar Galactica.

Years ago a friend gave me a CD with 14 different versions of Sympathy for the Devil and now of them was the Rolling Stone’s cover.  The one by Jonathon Round was particularly disturbing.  I just did a search and there’s thirty plus versions.
