lol @ this thread

i won it so easily.

Cat Power - I Found a Reason

PaSnow

Best re-interpretation of a song:

They also cover Lou Reeds Rock N Roll very well, but I can't find a good quality youtube link

I always thought Sheryl Crowes "first Cut is the deepest" was impressively better than the original. (hint: look up Cat Stevens original version

And finally Willie Nelson Time After Time, speeds up the tempo very nicely. (It's actually my ringtone)

Dani California and last dance with Mary Jane.. Same lyrical theme same music. Transplanted the "Indianna Girl" theme to "SoCo" nice move.
Same god damn song.

This one is crazy. When I first heard this song I thought "fucking Teenagers"

This is Oasis who practically made a career from ripping off other artists

SHOULD be covers...

yeah I heard that one before. To be honest I find it extremely boring. Garbage did a pretty good version of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses but othert han that and the Jack White cover that entire Ack-Toon baby(or howvere they speleld it) cover album was pretty dull I thought.
