    I wasn't familiar with the original version of the song, but sought it out after hearing Pearl Jam's rendition of it. I remember thinking "Why does this song sound so upbeat and happy when the subject matter is so sad?"

    Okay, one more. I love how hauntingly beautiful Nirvana's version is.
    Cover or not, it's one of my favorite songs ever.

    Yeah, and Nirvana's version is better, in my opinion.

    Yeah well it's Nirvana. They (he) did many things better than most.

    I'm obsessed with Brian Fallon's vocals. That man can sing!

    "Gold dust woman" by Hole. The worst cover ever.

    Best cover, probably "dancing days" by Stone Temple Pilots, or maybe "ripple" by Janes addiction. I do enjoy "amazing grace" by the throwing muses as well.

    I'm stuck in the 90s apparently.

    You've got Bon Iver doing "Skinny Love":



    But, then you've got The Gaslight Anthem's cover of the song which completely trumps the original:



    I swear, Brian Fallon's voice is the salt shaker that adds flavor to any song.

    One of my favorite covers, I love the original, but this one just does it for me.
    Ghost of Tom Joad-Rage Against The Machine


    Another one that I love is D7-Nirvana, originally by The Wipers

    Apparently every Beatles/Lennon cover Elliot Smith did is excellent.
