And now we move onto the rest of the covers I have. I went through a lot of different ideas for how to post them without doing one monster post, and what I settled on in the end is what as_good suggested: organize by date of the original.

I love covers. I absolutely adore them. From horrible live covers to ridiculously inventive studio covers - it's all good. Granted, I do tire of versions that sound exactly like the original. But for every one of those, you'll find at least one good one, one that really does something differentMainly I just love the possibility that comes with ( Read more... )
