Best covers

[Applerill]

Oh yeah, and being the super-duped obsessed Toriphile I am, I must point out that all of the real greatest covers ever made were by Tori Amos

1. Smells Like Teen Spirit
2. Total Eclipse of the Heart
3. I Ran
4. If 6 Was 9
5. Dream On
6. Enjoy the Silence
7. New Age (from the VU)
8. All Through the Night

All of these covers that Tori did are better than the originals.

John Lennon was great making covers... "Stand by me" and "Be my baby" from Lennon are damn incredible..

and well Nirvana's cover of "The man who sold the world" is probably the best cover ever.
