I mean, duh. Chaka Khan, produced by Arif Mardin, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, rap by Melle Mel, how was it going to go wrong.
Husker Du - Eight Miles High originally by the Byrds
This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley

Friends, allow me to introduce you to your new favorite cover album.
The Easy Star All Stars are a collection of Reggae artists who cover well known albums - Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band being the two most well known.
But their best album is a cover of Radiohead's OK Computer. Which, in some places, is better than the original.
I'll be listening to this album til the day I die.

Also, as someone who's young adult years were in the 90's, hearing The Sundays' cover of Wild Horses will always cause me to stop, take a breath, and wistfully tear up.
Posted this in the "Better than the original cover" thread and I still stick by it.
Beats the original with more energy, more power and still retains the original songs charm.

Recently stumbled on Madison Cunningham
Her covers blew me away and apparantly she does weekly covers
This Jeff Buckley one is just beautiful
Radiohead one is decent
her originals are good too

Robert Wyatt was the drummer in the 60s/70s band Soft Machine.
Here's the wiki info on why he's in the wheelchair:
OMG, I'd never heard that Richie Havens before. Fantastic. I love that first CSNY album.
Where can I go from that one? Let's see, covers from that first CSNY album... Miles Davis did a long cover version of "Guinnevere" that was released on the "Circle in the Round" album. You know, I like it better than Crosby apparently did, but it's too diffuse for me to really put here. I'll tell you a cover he did that I actually do like a lot though - his cover of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" in '75. It's a really oblique version but really beautiful IMO.

Technically it's a cover. Shut up.
I was going to include Istanbul by They Might Be Giants and Nothing Compares 2 U by SinƩad O'Conner but hit the four video limit.
Regina Spektor cover of a partially recorded John Lennon song that was technically only released on the Beatles Anthology.
I went on this binge and compiled cover versions of every '63-'70 released Beatles original that (1) I like and (2) I like at least as much as the Beatles version. Aside from "You Won't See Me", "What Goes On", and "Yellow Submarine" I found versions for all of them.
Anyway, I am flabbergasted that nobody knows Ray Charles' version of "The Long And Winding Road", considering that Paul McCartney has openly said that he was trying to write a Ray Charles song when he did it. Charles nails it - I'd say it's pretty much the only good version of the song ever - but nobody seems to have any idea it exists!
another good faith no more one...
