I need someone to create a cover song mix CD...
So, I'm too chicken shit to wrap my time up in limewire/kazaa/morpheus/etc to hunt down the best cover songs ever and make myself a playlist...but I just heard the second best cover ever on live365.com.
It was a single by Postal Service: Against All Odds by Phil Collins.
(the best remains Travis' "hit me baby one more time")
I also heard a country alt-rock version "Dark End of the Street" last night, and it made me lonely for the soundtrack to the Commitments. Are there other fantastic modern indie versions of well-known songs that transform it into something else to include???
Edit: Okay, so yes...."Hurt" (9-inch nails) done by Johnnie Cash. Alls those covers on the 2 rick rubin set count. And Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "Somewhere over the rainbow" (Judy Garland), but that has been used so much now that the magic is almost gone (allmoost).
I need to hear this one: Radiohead "Nobody Does it Better" (Carly Simon)
too obvious?--Joe Cocker "With A Little Help From My Friends" (The Beatles)
I guess I am aiming for a new breed more than I am all-time goodness....
