I have a question for you all. What is your favorite cover or covers? No, I’m not talking about where we have another band singing the exact same song. What songs have you heard that were taken by an artist and completely made their’s?

An example would be hurt by Nine Inch Nails Covered by Johnny Cash

The Futureheads' cover of Hounds of Love by Kate Bush: https://youtu.be/awjE92YZeEQ?si=5NVmsEpP6KuDxV1h

But an all-timer is Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan

I feel that much of Dylan’s work is better with covers, but that one absolutely is a standout.
