are sometimes hard to find. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is often quoted. "All along the wacthtower" by Hendrix is another.

Any more out there?

99% of the time the original is the best.

I love HURT - it was recorded 2 weeks before he died I believe and it carries so much meaning

Ahh but there are some covers you wouldn't recognise from the original. A reinterpretation is always a good slant!

As was Johnny Cash - American V- A Hundred Highways, completed just before he died.

The pain in his voice almost makes one cry.

The 2 you mentioned are great covers. I always quite like Mansons version of tainted love, and AAF version of smooth criminal too.

yes - that song has real feelings, real meaning and musically it is so relatively simple - not complex at all. Yet such deep effect
