What are your favourite covers?
No doubt Hallelujah is one of the best covers in the history of music...and I love #5 too :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria", and the song "Train Kept a Rolling" has had many great covers by the Yardbirds or Aerosmith
...so many!
Okay - I'm dying over this. I also die over Jolene, both the original and the cover. You are sure a girl after my own heart with all of these music posts.
ReplyDeleteFor reals.
Also - did you watch The OC? Because I can't listen to Hallelujah without thinking of it hahaha
I loved the OC I actually can't believe I forgot that they used Hallelujah!!

I actually posted the video to Anya Marina's version to Whatever You Like on my blog a few weeks ago! I heard it on Pandora a few weeks back, and now I'm obsessed! I like it sooooo much more than the original. :)
