Under the covers

Now I'm not usually one to encourage covers of songs. Infact I've heard so many bad covers of Wonderwall, Hurricane, Hallelujah and Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay that I'm starting to think the music industry has turned environmentally friendly and decided to recycle (to prevent noise pollution?- Pardon the play on words). But every now and then I come across the gems that restore my faith in cover songs. Here are some of my favourites. Some are new, some are classics.

And last but certainly not least, the greatest covers of all time. IMPERATIVE to any music library.
