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?

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

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