"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (live) by P.J. Harvey and Björk (Yowza!)

Edit - I added the youtube videos for those who are too lazy to look or have never heard of the songs.


"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole



So wonderful and relaxing, it's just beautiful.

"Hurt" - Johnny Cash



Even though I like NIN's version better, I still think this was extremely well done.

"The Man Who Sold The World" -Nirvana



Such a good cover of a Bowie song. I like it better then the original.

"Where did you sleep last night" - Nirvana

&feature=related

There is a reason they ended the session with this song. It's just too good.

Suspect's Reviews

That stinks! They don't allow Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky" anymore, and there are no alternatives? You must be joking!

Sweet Home Alabama- Kid Rock

Just Kidding!Who does Kid Rock think he is!You can't cover a song like that!

That's not a cover so much as a song that sampled another song's music, much like Ice Ice Baby sampled Under Pressure or U Can't Touch This sampled Superfreak.

"Across the Universe" - Fiona Apple

Mad World ~

Original: Tears For Fears



Cover: Gary Jules

"Mad World" is one of the few times where the cover song is actually better than the original. It (the cover) fits the lyrics perfectly.

For some reason I remember posting this before, or maybe it was another forum with a similar thread...

Sonic Youth - "I'm Not There" (Bob Dylan)



Cat Power - "Blue" (Joni Mitchell)

Cupid, Amy Winehouse

"Diamonds and Rust" by Judas Priest
