Favourite Cover Songs ?

[Zhaoman]

Someone mentioned BBC Live Lounge before so I guess I'll add something as well:

I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Lemar is one of my favourite ones from it. Really chill and cool cover.

Also this is a jazzy instrumental rendition of Kanye West's Flash Lights by BADBADNOTGOOD.

Just gonna slip this in too: The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore by Keane.

They are a cracking band actually, have all their albums and followed them since Max Payne 2

I didn't like this at all when I first heard it but now I enjoy it as a meatier alternative to Van Morrison's original to sink your teeth into:

Brown Eyed Girl - Everclear

Also, do Wierd Al Yankovic's 'covers' count?
