The Awesome Covers Thread!
Johnny C:
I went to see Leonard Cohen very recently and, as decent as the covers of "Hallelujah" are, his is the definitive version. And it's not even his best song! Jeez.
EDIT: At least mention Jennifer Warnes' cover of "First We Take Manhattan", which isn't perfect but is a pretty solid rendition of the song. (The video is worth watching just for the shots of M. Cohen himself.)
AutumnLeaves:
Iron & Wine's cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights' is excellent, TPS is good, but the averagely-good electric keyboard backing for Ben Gibbard's awesome singing leaves you somewhat disappointed.
Bono's cover of 'I am the Walrus' is pretty decent, and I love the Red Painting's cover of 'Mercy Seat'
imapiratearg:
Sam Beam's version of "Such Great Heights" is so fucking good. Better than the original without a doubt.
fish across face:
Heh, glad to see the love goes on...

Looks like it's been a couple of years though, unless people have stopped raving about that song. :)

I'm shamelessly bumping this a little bit because of this:
Graceland (Paul Simon) - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
