Um... I really like Vertical Horizon's cover of Tracy Chapman's song: Fast Car, I think that's one of the better ones :)

They also did While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I personally don't see these as covers, I see them as renditions. Both very good though.

good cover : REM's version of the Leonard Cohen song about how first we take manhattan, then we take berlin ("first we take manhattan"?)

my mom has a Leonard Cohen tribute cd... most of it rocks.

it's on a tribute tape that the afore mentioned botched bono version of hallelujah appeared.

goddamn, i love me some Leonard Cohen.

my least favourite covers are the corrs version of dreams and tin tin out ruining here's where the story ends [originally by the sundays].

i quite enjoyed the sundays version of the rolling stones 'wild horses', but i am sure that a good number of rolling stones fans don't feel the same.

The worst cover I have ever heard has to be Annie Lennox's cover of "Whiter Shade of Pale", she totally crucified that song.

I second:

Orgy's version of blue Monday

The Alien Ant farm's cover "smooth criminal"

I never had a Speak and Spell and never got one for the
Kid but he's Aced the verbal portion of the SAT first time
out (800) but only 670 on the Math portion.
I suppose it's to late for the Math version of a
Speak & Spells?
