    The above led me to a cover of one of my favorite Neil Young songs...

    This is one case where the cover exceeds the original in my opinion... This is a live version but the studio version is even better... Bruce Springsteen's Fire as performed by Blitzkid!

    I am a huge fan of the FX show Justified. If you havent seen it you are missing out. They have played various covers of "You'll never leave Harlan alive", this is a great cover.

    When you think Carrie Underwood you would never think Guns N' Roses.........

    I like G-N-R and I do not like covers but this is damn good cover of hard song, Paradise City.

    A massive 5 CD set of Grateful Dead covers is about to be released in May. Some teasers were released today.

    Courtney Barnett - New Speedway Boogie.

    You can follow a few more from there.

    I think they are rather good. Will pick up the limited edition vinyl.

    It's a cover, I guess...right? :skep:

    I think it really says something about a composition when even this sort of strange treatment works.
