Your best cover songs

Really fussy with covers for the latter, but I love the way Etheral have done it.

Taking dawn's version of the fleetwood mac favorite 'The Chain'

Another vote for eva Cassidy but I really like fields of gold.

Is she dead? What a gorgeous voice.

Honeyroot done a fantastic cover of Joy Division's Love will tear us apart.
One of my best covers, I think.

squirrel_hunter is spot on with Johnny Cash's version of Hurt - one of the most emotional pieces of music ever recorded.

For sheer stupidity, I love Lawnmower Death's cover of Up The Junction.

Anything written by Bob Dylan is usually better recorded by anybody else.

Can't remember who wrote the original of Ain't No Love (In The Heart Of The City) but the Whitesnake Choir in full song is pretty hard to beat.

She died in 1996. She only really became well known in the UK after someone sent Terry Wogan her recording of Over the Rainbow. He played it and the radio station was inundated with enquiries about who that amazing singer was.

Apart from bringing me to tears most of the time I listen to her, I do believe she had one of the very best female voices ever.

+1 for Fields of Gold. It was played at the funeral of a guy I served with and still makes me cry every time I hear it. He was one of my best mates and we got into some right scrapes! Association of ideas I suppose.

Also a major +1 for Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. Its just superb. Made all the more poignant by the fact that he apparently recorded it just weeks before his death.

For my own choice - ie not piggy-backing onto someone elses choice - it would have to be Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit. Every bit as good as The Who's version. Wonder what Pete Townsend thought of Fred Durst's take on it?

Here's my two that I actually like better than the originals. The originals were classics but well, I just prefer these.
