OK, so first I've got to go for this:Ben Folds - Bitches Ain't ShitDon't worry, I've got more.
I love that Ben Folds cover! (I loved it so much I sent it to you!)
You did. It's true. OK, then how about:Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
On the subject of Neil Young covers how about:Annie Lennox - Don't let it bring you down
Depends what you mean by 'cover', and 'greatest'. What about Dylan and Cash singing Girl from the North Country, does that count?Or, Cake's I Will Survive (actually, maybe not).Or, if we're talking Neil Young, how about the Pixies' version of Winterlong? Hmm.
Played to a cliche now, but what about:http://youtube.com/watch?v=1tW6FgB8p1o
How about:Johnny Cash - Hurt
And:The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun
The Breeders did a cracking cover of Happiness is a Warm Gun on their first album. And I love Morrissey's cover of That's Entertainment.
Oooooh, yes, vote from me for The Breeders.Of course we are tragically overlooking The Shirehorses wonderful canon of wide-ranging cover versions here, but I guess they might just tip us into the world of parody...
What about Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'?
Re: Jeff Buckley - That, to be fair, was K.W. Wan's post... but it's fair enough to vote for it twice...
A bit late to the party, but here's a Sonic Youth cover of the Carpenter's Superstar which is quite fetching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHZNWimbhUE
