Default Please share your favourite cover song

Most of the time, I feel that cover songs are an insult to the original. However, occasionally, I hear a cover that I really like. My favourite is Kathleen Edward's cover of Tom Petty's "Face in the Crowd."

I'm always looking to discover new artists. The people at NT have eclectic and sophisticated tastes, so asking here, is a great way to find some great music.

Eva Cassidy sang some wonderful covers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTNLYeaL7No
Singing Christine McVie's Songbird

I'm a crazy Crowded House fan and there have been dozens and dozens, probably hundreds, of covers of Tim and Neil Finn songs. Astounding song writers.

Rufus Wainwright has done some great covers including "Across the Universe"

There are some great Van Morrison and Beach Boys covers around as well.

ohhh, there are so many.

Pearl Jam did a lot of good covers in later years. They give a totally different take from the originals.

Pink Floyd's 'Mother', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAh1jH5F_i4

They covered Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love With You", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVg67YEdH0I
terrible quality of visual
