Cover me
There's a fun discussion at USA Today's Pop Candy about the best cover songs. They've got a good list already, and I thought we could continue the discussion here. Some of my favorites, off the top of my head:Sonic Youth - Superstar (The Carpenters)
Lauryn Hill - Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Frankie Valli)
Petra Hayden and Bill Frissell - Yellow (Coldplay)
John Mayer - Kid A (Radiohead)
Nada Surf - If You Leave (OMD)
Tori Amos - Like a Prayer (Madonna)
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Fleetwood Mac)
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
Nirvana - Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam (The Vaselines)
How about you, what are your favorite cover songs?
