Gary Jules- Mad World

Seconded. Great song.


James Blake - Limit to Your Love (Feist)
I'm surprised at how much I like this actually. Wouldn't really think somebody could cover it and I would like it as much as the original.

also
Holly Miranda - Lover, You Should've Come Over (Jeff Buckley)
One of my favorite songs of all time and she did it great justice. I bought her album mainly because of this one song.

Austrailian boy Sam Sparro OBLITERATING Estele with his cover of "American Boy"

Great one. Just wish there was a version that didn't cut off like that at the end

I am a total sucker for power metal and I am not the least bit ashamed.

 

[CloudWolf]

Holly Miranda - Lover, You Should've Come Over (Jeff Buckley)

Yeah thats another classic cover which transforms the tone of the original.

The best cover of all time: Isley Brothers - Summer Breeze (Original: Seals and Croft)

 

[Tapiozona]

There are a load of threads like this that have come up in the past, might be worth searching. I'm sure all of the classics will be mentioned this time round as well, though!

My offering: Fiona Apple - Across the universe.

This is the only Beatles cover which I think is better than the original. This is easily my favorite cover of all time. Good pick.
